A flat roof keeps a level line on an extension or orangery, and the daylight comes from roof lights set into that roof. The designs here are dark-framed roof lights, used singly or in a row, so a room under a flat roof still opens to the sky.
Fixed units bring light in. Opening units can vent heat. They sit flush with a single-ply or felt flat roof and can be grouped along the roof, next to a house wall, or across a rear extension.
Why choose a flat roof with roof lights
The outside stays a clean flat roof. The glass is only where you want the light, instead of a fully glazed pitched conservatory roof.
Daylight from above
Rectangular roof lights face the sky, so the room is bright even when the side walls are solid or overlooked.
A level roofline
The roof does not rise into a ridge, which helps where a pitched conservatory would be too tall.
Roof light options
The units in this range are specified by size, number, and whether they open.
Fixed or opening
A fixed light is for daylight. An opening light adds ventilation when the room heats up.
Single or in a run
One large unit can sit over a table, or several smaller units can be spaced along the roof.
- Dark frames that suit a contemporary extension
- Set into a flat roof rather than a pitched conservatory
- Can be combined with solid walls and glazed doors
