The Best Rooflights for Small Spaces

If you have a small space in your home that is basically unusable because it's dark and dingy you don't have to write it off. If the walls or ceiling of the space are also the roof of the house, installing rooflights can completely transform it, flooding it with natural light and providing you with a multitude of ways you can put the space to use. But what are the best rooflights for small spaces? That's the question we'll answer in this guide.

Examining The Best Rooflights for Small Spaces

The main things to keep in mind when determining which rooflights will be best for your small space are the angle of the roof, how much area is available for rooflights and how many you can add without undermining the usefulness of the space. With that in mind the following represent some solid choices for small spaces.

Opening rooflights

If you hope to turn your small space into a home office you'll want to ensure the rooflights provide adequate ventilation. By installing rooflights that open you'll enjoy a level of air movement that will keep you alert as you work and ensure the space doesn't succumb to the dampness that affects so many UK buildings.

Fixed rooflights

Fixed rooflights can also be an outstanding choice for small spaces especially if the space is already included in the home's central air conditioning system. Fixed rooflights also tend to be less cumbersome than rooflights that open and present a trim, sophisticated profile from both outside and inside.

Tubular rooflights

If the available roof area is limited you don't have to give up on the idea of installing rooflights. Instead, consider installing tubular rooflights. These undersized rooflights produce oversized results effectively

capturing sunlight and directing it into the space below. They're great for small home offices, spare bedrooms, hallways and baths.

Domed rooflights

Domed rooflights can be found above countless small commercial and residential spaces right across the UK. The domed skylight reaches out and captures light then redirects it downward in a diffuse and even manner. Domed rooflights are available in a variety of designs and materials so there's bound to be one that's right for your small space.
