Light from Above: Fixed Flat Roof Skylights

In last week’s blog, we covered sun tunnels as an option for creating increased natural light and ventilation. If you have a flat roof and are looking to improve the amount of ambient light your home receives, you could simply opt for a fixed skylight. Here are the key features and benefits of fixed flat roof skylights. 

Quality Skylights

RG Leverett supplies and installs a variety of flat roof skylights in a choice of modern designs. As one of the leading roofing companies in the region, we will ensure you receive the highest quality materials and workmanship. Our dedicated roofing team will install the skylights with a specialist trim and membrane which leaves a professional finish and creates a watertight seal.

Environmental Benefits

We are always looking to promote energy efficiency in our building techniques. A skylight will draw on the renewable source that is the sun, meaning you lower your energy consumption and costs. Maximising on a clean source of energy couldn’t be easier than by installing some skylights. As a result, in winter you make the most of the limited sunlight and in summer you can enjoy the benefits of free lighting!

Promoting Wellbeing

The long-term benefits of increased ambient light aren’t just financial. Your mood will be reimbursed as much as your wallet. Imagine gazing up at the heavens through your skylights. Enjoying the warmth of the sun, increasing your view of the outside world and getting a booster shot of Vitamin D are all good for the soul: not to mention your sleep cycle, metabolism and immune system.

Privacy and Access

Increased natural light and ventilation are clear perks. Have you thought about the fact that, due to the angle of the skylights (yep, they’re on the roof) this provides additional privacy? Some skylights can also create a permanent access route to the roof, should you need to complete any maintenance work.
