When ordering most of the models in our range, you can choose what type of glazing you would like installed and some models also have several interior and exterior frame colours from which to choose. Among the most common type of glazing options you will encounter are the following:

1 - Clear – This is the basic option that most models will come with as standard, unless you specify a different type of glazing. If privacy and light control are not a concern, and you would like to minimise the cost of your new skylights and rooflights in Northamptonshire, this is probably the best glazing option to choose.

2 - Opal – Opal polycarbonate glazing is a popular choice as it helps to eliminate glare, providing instead a soft, diffused light. It is eminently suitable for living areas in residential properties as well as offices, warehouses, cafés and retail outlets.

3 - Obscure – Frosted, patterned and otherwise obscured glass and polycarbonate panes are a good choice for spaces where privacy is a concern, such as bathrooms and bedrooms in homes with overlooking properties.

4 - Tinted – Tinted glazing is useful in larger units and for any skylight installation where there is a possibility that too much natural light may be allowed to penetrate the space below.

5 - Coated – Many of the rooflights and roof lanterns in our range can be ordered with glazing that has a special self-clean coating, which makes them easier to maintain.

Of course, some of these options are not mutually exclusive: you can specify clear or obscured glass with a self-clean coating for example. Spend a little time thinking about your needs and preferences before making up your mind.
