Pitched Rooflights

Pitched Rooflights

If you have a home with a normal pitched roof and you would like to have rooflights installed, you don’t have to worry about spoiling the exterior appearance of your property. Our Solaglaze pitched rooflights are designed to fit flush with the angle of a pitched roof so they will enhance the appearance of your home both inside and out. Normal rooflights can be installed in a pitched roof but they will sit out of plane, which is not what most homeowners want. With our pitched rooflights, however, you can enjoy more natural light in your home without spoiling the flow of your roofline.

Durable, High-Quality Pitched Rooflights, Manufactured in the UK

In common with all of the rooflights and roof lanterns that we sell, the Solaglaze range for pitched roofs is manufactured here in the UK, to exceptionally high standards. Every unit is made to order so you can be sure that the rooflights you receive are perfect for your needs. With hermetically sealed double glazing, EDPM rubber gasket seals and an anthracite grey uPVC frame, our pitched rooflights are stylish, durable and designed to ensure exceptional thermal performance. Furthermore, all units are designed and manufactured to meet British Standards for weather tightness, air permeability, water tightness and wind resistance.

All of the rooflights that we sell have been designed with ease of installation in mind and that includes our Solaglaze pitched roof models. A competent professional should be capable of installing multiple units in a single day so there’s no need to worry about weeks of disruption to your home life if you want to introduce more natural light into your property. For larger roofs, multiple units can be fitted in a single frame, ensuring an efficient installation process and aesthetically pleasing results. Whether you order multiple units with a single frame or with individual frames, your new pitched rooflights will be supplied with quality angle brackets that match the frame colour. If you have any questions about the installation procedure, please feel free to contact us at any time during normal business hours.

Ordering Rooflights for Pitched Roofs

You can place an order on our website whenever you wish and look forward to your new rooflights being delivered in less than a week. However, please double-check your measurements before ordering: as every unit is made to order, the dimensions cannot be changed afterwards.

Pitched Rooflights FAQs

A pitched rooflight is designed for roofs angled between 15° and 60°, allowing natural light into spaces beneath pitched or sloped roofs.

Yes. Their angled design helps rain and debris slide off easily, keeping the glass cleaner for longer and reducing maintenance needs.

Not if installed professionally. Expert installation ensures a watertight fit and often includes a warranty for long-term peace of mind.

Yes. Many pitched rooflights open to improve airflow, reduce humidity, and help reduce reliance on air conditioning during warmer months.

Usually not. Listed buildings and Conservation Areas require permission, but most installations qualify as permitted development. Always check with your local authority.

Yes. They enhance natural light, energy efficiency, and kerb appeal, all of which can add value and make your home more desirable.

Pitched rooflights increase natural light, reducing your dependence on electric light. They also improve ventilation when opening options are specified and enhance usable space in your home. They create brighter interiors, open up new decor options and make your home more valuable.

Pitched rooflights are specifically designed for roofs with a moderate to severe pitch. They are not really intended to be installed on flat roofs. By installing them on flat roofs, you will compromise their ability to drain properly under adverse weather conditions.

If you choose opening pitched rooflights, you will be able to open and close them at will. This will greatly enhance the ventilation in your entire home, allowing the hot air inside to vent into the atmosphere and be replaced with cooler, drier air.

Glazing options for pitched rooflights include double or triple-pane glass, glass with solar control, self-cleaning glass and more. No matter your specific need, there is a glazing option to satisfy it and improve the energy-efficiency of your home at the same time.

They can typically be found on the upper portion of the house where the roof pitch is severe. They are commonly used in loft conversions, home extensions, 2nd floor bedrooms, and anywhere that traditional windows are an impractical choice.

Pitched rooflights create energy efficiency by enabling the homeowner to turn off many of their electric lights during the day and by allowing them to turn down or turn off their air conditioner due to the improved ventilation throughout the house.

In most cases, no. About the only time you may have to worry about planning permission is if your home is a Listed Building, in which case planning permission will be a certainty. Or, if your home is located in a designated conservation area.
