If you are looking for a way to maximise the livable space in your home a loft conversion is an excellent choice. When it comes to loft conversions one of the most important decisions you'll have to make is determining which type of rooflight will best suit your needs and the particulars of the space. In this short guide, the experts at Skylights Rooflight look at the best rooflight options for loft conversions.

4 of the Best Rooflight Options for Loft Conversions

The following represent our choices for the best rooflight options to consider for your loft conversion project.

1: Flat rooflights

If the roof above your loft area is flat or low-pitched a flat rooflight is an excellent choice. Today's flat rooflights have a sleek, contemporary appearance that enhances the look of your home while also optimising the amount of natural light that's allowed to penetrate. Flat rooflights are usually fixed with walk-on rooflights capable of withstanding significant weight.

2: Conservation rooflights

If your home is a Listed Building or located in a national park or other designated conservation area you'll need planning permission to install rooflights. It is also likely you'll be required to install conservation rooflights that are specifically designed to dovetail with traditional architectural styles. Frames on these rooflights are typically thin and discreet and the overall profile of the rooflight is low and unobtrusive.

3: Modular rooflights

If your loft conversion is particularly large or complex you might want to consider using modular rooflights. Modular rooflights consist of multiple glass panels that can be arranged however you need them to be in order to achieve the desired result. They're typically used when the area of the roof is extensive and they are touted for their ability to create compelling design statements.

4: Remote opening rooflights

If you're interested in optimising ventilation consider rooflights that can be opened and closed remotely. The motors on these rooflights can be either electric or solar-powered with some offering an auto-close feature if precipitation is detected. If you are environmentally concerned solar-powered rooflights are an outstanding choice.
