Why You Should Have a Roof Window

What Is A Roof Window?

Roof windows are a great way to let natural light enter your room. Because roof windows can also open and close to allow fresh air to enter the home. The roof window offers beautiful views of the sky and stars.

Roof windows look similar to light tunnels and skylights. However, skylights and light tunnels are different than roof windows. A roof window will have the ability to open and close and are much larger than skylights and light tunnels. Skylights do not open and often do not provide a view.

What Is A Light Tunnel?

A lighting tunnel is a tube that helps to provide light into an area. First of all, the light tunnel is often installed into the roof and leads to a room in the house, reflecting light.

Roof windows are usually installed into the roof of the property. That depends on the angle of the current roof and the planning permissions. 

Where To Put A Roof Window

The most common placement for a roof window is in a loft conversion, allowing light to enter the home that doesn’t have walls for windows. Therefore, if you are looking to convert your loft into a bedroom, make sure to position your bed right under the roof window so that you can stare at the stars at night.

Roofs and home extensions are a great way of extending living space in your current home. Roof windows installed into Solid Roofs and extensions allow more natural light to enter the rooms. They can make the room feel much more spacious and brighter.

Summary

Roof windows are an excellent choice to enhance the living area of your home. They can draw in more light and provide you with a view of the night sky.
