2022 is going to be a year where light and space are going to be the priority for interior designers. In this regard, a rooflight is one of the most modern and elegant additions you can make to your home. Our customers across North Somerset and the South West have been rapidly falling in love with them. But what is it about this simple glazing fixture that makes such a big difference in kitchens and living rooms?
Rooflights fill a space with natural light
It’s scientifically proven that sunshine makes us happier! Especially in these Winter months, we need all the sunlight we can get. Some homes are darker than others, depending on which parts of the property are sun-facing. A rooflight can help to transform a dreary living room into a bright and positive space. In kitchens, a rooflight creates an open, modern effect that would increase your property’s overall value. They can be installed to almost any flat roof to enhance a living space.
Open roof space
One of the key benefits of a rooflight is the sense of space it creates. With huge panes of glass, they can help a room forge a real connection with the sky. After a few tough years of lockdown restrictions, we all want to feel closer to the outdoors. A rooflight in the kitchen blends the boundaries between outside and in while you’re cooking. From watching the clouds roll past, to the stars shining at night, this home improvement promotes wellbeing as well as functionality.
Rooflights are thermally efficient
As with our windows, our rooflights are manufacturing using top-of-the-range double glazing technology. The glass achieves outstandingly low U-values. These measure the rate of thermal transmission through a surface area. The lower a U-value, the less heat can pass through the material. This means that the rooflight will prevent heat from entering the home during Summer, and prevent heat from escaping in the Winter. With such strong thermal performance, comes lower energy usage, and lower energy bills.
Ultra slim sightlines
The frames of our rooflights are made from aluminium, the strongest window frame material on the market. Because of its strength, aluminium can support large panes of glass with extremely thin frames. These thinner frames mean less space between the panes of glazing, maker for slimmer sightlines. The views out the rooflight will be incredibly clear and unobstructed, making a living room a much more relaxing space.
Rooflights are available in a range of colours
Popular colours for rooflight frames include white, jet black and anthracite grey. However, our Atlas rooflights can be manufactured in any RAL colour. This means that a rooflight can be custom-designed to match the exact character of your kitchen or living room. So, you can brighten up your home with a splash of colour as well as natural sunlight.
