Roof Light / Skylight

A glazed opening in a roof surface designed to bring natural light into the room below. Fixed, opening, and walk-on roof lights are available in flat and pitched roof versions. Popular in single-storey extensions where side windows are limited. Roof lights must meet building regulations for thermal performance, safety glazing, and in kitchens or bathrooms for ventilation.
