Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install flat roof windows anywhere?
While there are a lot of situations where you can install a flat roof window, keep in mind that they’re called ‘flat roof windows’ for a reason. They are intended to be installed on roofs with a pitch between 0 degrees and 15 degrees. If your roof has more pitch than that you should install a skylight instead.
Do I need planning permission to install a flat roof window?
It depends. Flat roof windows come in a variety of styles with some fitting nice and flush with the roof line and others protruding a significant amount above the roof line. If the window you want to install protrudes above the roof line then you may well need planning permission. Also, if your home is a Listed Building or is located in a Conservation Areas it is likely you will need planning permission.
Do flat roof windows provide any particular benefits?
The benefits of installing flat roof windows include allowing lots of natural light into your home, helping you save energy and lower your monthly energy bills and enhancing both the look of your home and its market value.
Can flat roof windows be walked on?
For the most part, no. You should not walk on most flat roof windows. However, an increasing number of roof windows are being manufactured that can withstand the weight of a large adult. The real benefit of such roof windows, however, is not that they can support a person but that they are unlikely to break if a tree branch or other airborne debris lands on them.
Is it difficult to clean flat roof windows?
The fact that most flat roofs are accessible from the ground by way of a ladder means they are relatively easy to access for cleaning. Much easier than a skylight two or three stories up on a pitched roof. The fact that they sit flat on the roof also means that they can usually be accessed easily from the inside by way of a step ladder.
Will you install my flat roof windows?
We get asked this a lot, but unfortunately we do not offer installation of the flat roof windows we sell. There are, however, a lot of contractors with experience installing roof windows so you should not have much trouble finding one. And don’t forget each window we sell comes with comprehensive installation instructions.
