A well-placed roof window can transform a dark loft, kitchen or landing. Here is what they offer and whether they are worth it.
The benefits
- Far more natural light — roof windows let in around twice the light of a vertical window of the same size.
- Ventilation — they help clear heat and moisture, great for kitchens and bathrooms.
- A feeling of space — they open up loft rooms and make small spaces feel bigger.
- Added value — light, airy rooms are a real selling point.
Where they work best
Loft conversions, kitchen extensions, flat-roof areas and dark hallways all benefit. They can be fitted to pitched or flat roofs.
Fitting matters most
A roof window is only as good as its installation. The critical part is the flashing and weatherproofing around it — done poorly, it leaks. As roofers, getting that watertight seal right is exactly what we do.
