Rooflights have increased in popularity over the last few years due to the evident and considerable benefits of having light and airflow within a room. Property owners like that rooflights are durable, lightweight, and easy to install. They also come in numerous colours. Thus, they are eye-catching, especially for buildings with colour motifs and can be matched with your current aesthetic.

Rooflights are usually made of polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is known for its excellent thermal, optical and mechanical features. They can withstand an impact 200 times greater than glass alone. This means that it won’t be vulnerable to damage when hail or stones fall on the roof. Polycarbonate is also resistant to temperature changes.

Rooflights now come in various sizes, colours, thicknesses and profiles. Installing rooflights is relatively easy. For the best installation ease, suppliers usually recommend installing rooflights on a roof with at least a 10 degrees pitch. Anything less, and you may need extra weatherproofing measures like adding sealants or flashings at an additional cost.
