Who Needs Pitched Roof Windows?
Pitched roof windows from Skylights Roof Lanterns are ideal for homeowners whose roofs have sloped, angled surfaces. Since traditional roof windows are not designed to fit sloped roofs, many homeowners have been unable to take advantage of the benefits that roof windows can offer.
Our quality pitched roof windows are available in a range of styles and sizes, ensuring that you will find an option that perfectly matches your needs.
What’s more, our team at Skylights Roof Lanterns have years of combined experience helping customers determine the most suitable roof windows for their home.
What Are the Benefits of Roof Windows?
There are many benefits to installing roof windows in your home, pitched or otherwise. Some of these benefits include:
Better Energy Efficiency: Traditional windows can be draughty and leave your home feeling cold, even in the heat of the summer. Roof windows are specifically designed to maximize energy efficiency, helping you save money on heating and cooling costs.
Increased Natural Light: Many homeowners choose to install pitched roof windows in order to bring more natural light into their homes. That’s because roof windows help open up your living space and make your home feel more spacious and welcoming.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Roof windows can also improve the appearance of your home, allowing you to enjoy beautiful views from the comfort of your own home. Whether you want to see breath-taking sunsets or simply to be able to look out over your garden, roof windows are a great way to improve the aesthetics of your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
What room is a good choice for pitched roof windows?
Pitched roof windows are a good match for any room in the house that has a pitched ceiling. That includes kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms and even hallways. Also, if you are planning to renovate a loft and turn it into a bedroom, home office or some other type of usable space installing pitched roof windows is a great idea.
Is it difficult to clean pitched roof windows?
It can be. Because they are often located in hard-to-reach locations two or more stories above the street we recommend that you enlist the help of a professional window cleaning service to clean the outside of your pitched roof windows. You may be able to handle cleaning of the inside of the pitched roof windows yourself, but only if the panes are accessible from a step ladder.
Will I need planning permission to install pitched roof windows?
It depends on the circumstances and the style of window you choose to install. If the window sits flush with the roof line you probably don’t need planning permission. On the other hand, if the window protrudes above the established roof line by more than a few cms you may need planning permission. In addition, if your home is a Listed Building or if it is located in a Conservation Area it is very likely that you will need planning permission to install any type of roof window, pitched or otherwise.
Will I need to install blinds with my pitched roof windows?
A lot of homeowners choose to install blinds under their windows so they can regulate the amount of light that enters their home. However, this is strictly up to the homeowner. There is nothing that says the pitched roof windows must be accompanied by blinds. If you are working with an interior designer, ask them. Otherwise go with your own instincts. You can always install or remove them later.
Will you install my pitched roof windows for me?
We do not as of this writing offer an installation service for our pitched roof windows. However, we can recommend a few contractors that should be able to provide reliable installation at competitive prices. Keep in mind that each window comes with comprehensive installation instructions should you decide to install the windows yourself. We would caution you against doing so, however, unless you have personal experience with home renovations.
