Posted by in News

A fixed flat rooflight is a modern, stylish option for anybody seeking a rooflight. Due to their minimalist construction and slim sightlines, they can be used in various parts of the home to deliver a better living experience. If you choose fixed flat rooflights, you’ll be presented with plenty of options to make your home more beautiful.

A flat fixed rooflight is a great addition to a home and choosing one will largely come down to your own personal preferences. However, this doesn’t necessarily make it any easier when you have to pick out a rooflight from the massive selection that is available. Here are some brief pointers to picking out the perfect flat fixed rooflight for your home:

  • Find the finish that suits you and your home. This is entirely subjective, with many different options available. You need to look at the different RAL colours that could be an option for your fixed flat rooflight. From black or white, to dark greens and greys, there will be an option to suit you. A rooflight brochure for the particular brand you like will be able to show you all the different options that are available.
  • Speak to a rooflight installation professional. They will be the experts in what will work in the space and type of roof you have available. If you aren’t able to do so yourself, they can help you to measure up and consider the rooflight dimensions that would fit. They can also advise you on any particular types of flat fixed rooflight that would fit into the space you have.
  • Understand the dimensions that are available. The rooflight you end up selecting will need to adhere to the size of your roof. If you identify a particular type of rooflight that you like, check its particular dimensions to understand it more. If you can’t find dimensions that will work with the rooflight styles that you like, it might be time to consider a bespoke rooflight option.
  • Look at rooflights in real life. Visit a showroom, look at rooflights in other people’s houses – it is generally worth you seeing as many options as you can before you commit to buying one for your own home. This will give you a good idea of the looks you like, including the types of frames and materials that appeal to you. Make sure you are happy with a flat fixed rooflight, and that this will be the right decision for you.
  • Check the specifications of the fixed flat rooflights that you like. It’s one thing to select a rooflight based on its appearance. It’s another making sure that it will be the right size, have the right levels of insulation, will be made of the right material, etc… Check things like the u values and the glazing type to make sure you are choosing the right glass rooflight for your home.
