Frequently Asked Questions 

What’s the difference between manual and electric rooflights?

Manual rooflights are opened by hand or with a crank handle, ideal for easily accessible areas. Electric rooflights operate via switch or remote control, perfect for high ceilings or convenience.

Can I install an opening rooflight on a flat roof?

Yes. Many of our opening rooflights for flat roofs are specifically designed for that application. Be sure to check product specs or consult us for suitability.

Do I need permission to install an opening rooflight?

In most cases, you won’t need planning permission unless the rooflight projects are more than 150mm above the roofline, or your property is listed/in a conservation area. Always check the local guidelines.

Are your opening rooflights weatherproof?

Absolutely. All of our rooflights are built to UK weather standards and include seals and drainage features to prevent leaks.

Are your opening rooflights energy efficient?

Yes. Our rooflights are designed with thermal efficiency in mind, helping to retain indoor heat and reduce the need for artificial lighting.

What sizes are available for opening rooflights?

We offer a wide range of standard sizes, and some models are available in custom dimensions. Contact us if you need a specific fit.

How do electric opening rooflights operate?

Electric rooflights typically work with a wall switch or remote. Some models can include features like rain sensors or smart home integration for added convenience.
