Trending Rooflight Designs for Modern Homes

The following are some of the most popular rooflight design options available for the modern home.

The frameless rooflight

A frameless rooflight provides a sleek, minimalist look that perfectly suits many contemporary home styles including mid-century modern and postmodern. Frameless rooflights and skylights feature clean lines and an unobtrusive appearance that does not compete with the look of the house, but rather complements it.

Modular rooflights

Modular rooflights enable you to arrange the various segments however you wish to suit your aesthetic and practical needs. They're quite popular with the owners of modern homes that often feature spaces that are non-traditional in shape.

Solar powered rooflights

In this era of environmental awareness solar powered skylights have become an increasingly popular choice for modern homes. These rooflights have motors that can be remotely operated and whose batteries are recharged by sunlight.

Smart rooflights

Smart rooflights can be programmed to open or close at a particular time or can be opened and closed from anywhere on earth via a simple smartphone app. Imagine being at work on a hot summer day and being able to open the skylights in your home to vent the house and cool it down. That kind of convenience is why smart rooflights are gaining in popularity with modern homeowners.

Dynamic glazing

One of the latest and most popular trends in rooflights for modern homes is dynamic glazing where the homeowner can adjust the amount of light and heat allowed to pass through the rooflight, again from a smartphone app regardless of where the person is located.
