The Best Rooflight Options for Creating a Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow
One of the many great things about rooflights is that they enable you to create greater integration between your indoor space and the outdoors. This helps bring your entire property into harmony while providing an angle on the world that didn't exist before. But which rooflights do the best job of creating a seamless indoor/outdoor flow? That's what we'll look at in this brief guide.
Where You Place Your Rooflight is Important
If you want to optimise the connection between indoors and outdoors you can't install rooflights just anywhere. You have to carefully consider which location will provide the optimal interaction between spheres.
In some cases, rooflights will open up views of the sky. In other cases, they may provide a clear view of flowering trees. And in the case of rooflights or skylights installed on steeply pitched roofs, they may provide a stunning view of the landscape or cityscape. So there is no substitute for well-thought-out placement of your new rooflights.
The Best Rooflights for Creating Indoor-Outdoor Flow Are…
There are two winners as far as our experts are concerned. They are:
Roof lanterns are a type of rooflight installed on flat or nearly flat roofs. They're often large and have a raised spine running down the centre with multiple panes of glass allowing light in from a variety of angles. By installing a roof lantern over your kitchen or dining table you will create a sense of integration with the outdoor realm that is not possible to achieve any other way.
Skylights
Skylights are typically installed on roofs with steep pitches. Because of this, they occupy a middle ground between rooflights (providing a view of the sky) and regular windows (providing a view toward the horizon). Installing skylights in a loft space will automatically bring the indoor and outdoor spheres into contact and break the sense of separation that is such a huge feature of most homes.
