How Rooflights Transform Dark Lofts into Usable Spaces

Most lofts have a dark and uninviting aura about them, which is why they're mostly used for storage, if indeed they're used at all. Rooflights can change all that. Installing a rooflight or rooflights in a loft will instantly bring it into the fold of usable space and open up a plethora of possibilities regarding how the space can now be utilised. In the guide below we'll look at how rooflights can transform dark lofts into usable spaces.

4 Ways Rooflights Can Transform Dark Loft Spaces

Installing one or more rooflights into a loft space will transform how you experience that space by…

1: Maximizing the amount of natural light

There is no better way to flood a space with natural light than by installing rooflights. Because rooflights are installed on the roof they catch more light during the course of the day than traditional windows installed on exterior walls. Just by installing rooflights, you will transform your loft space from one of the darkest parts of your home to one of the brightest.

2: Enhancing ventilation

Loft spaces are often hot, stuffy spaces with little air movement. When you install rooflights with opening mechanisms you allow fresh air to circulate. Not only will ventilation be improved in the loft space, ventilation throughout the entire home will benefit greatly as well. Especially in summer when hot air will rise through the house and exit through the rooflight in the loft.

3: Opening up the loft space visually

Enclosed spaces feel smaller than they are. The best way to eliminate the claustrophobic feel of a loft is to install rooflights. With the space flooded with natural light and large panes of glass providing views of the world outside the loft will start to feel much larger, even though the amount of floorspace remains the same. 

4: Creating a variety of potential uses for the space

Once the loft is opened up by the installation of rooflights it becomes something of a blank canvas that you can use to create whatever type of space you want. Popular options include a spare bedroom, a game room for the kids, a home office and more. Your decor choices will be almost limitless and because the space will be full of natural light your houseplants will thrive.
