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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pitched rooflight?

A pitched rooflight is a type of roof window that is installed on a sloped roof. Since every roof is a little different the slope involved may be as little as 10 degrees or as much as 45 or 50 degrees. A pitched rooflight is one of the best-known ways to bring light into what was a dark and uninviting space and they have both residential and commercial applications.

How do I clean a pitched rooflight?

It is important to keep your pitched rooflights clean but how you clean them will depend on where they are located and your level of comfort when working at height. Pitched rooflights are often located 2 or 3 storeys above street level and for that reason reaching them can be a daunting task. If you are not comfortable working at height or you have little experience working on tall ladders we would strongly urge you to hire a qualified professional window cleaner. Just make certain they are fully insured.

Do you install pitched rooflights?

We do not. But we can put you in touch with a reliable contractor with experience installing pitched rooflights.

Are pitched rooflights a security hazard?

No, pitched rooflights do not represent a security hazard since they are typically installed on steeply pitched portions of your roof, well out of the reach of the average burglar. Burglars look for the easiest way into and out of a home, and climbing up to the roof to try and pry open a rooflight is not that. They're far more likely to go in through the front door.

Are pitched rooflights easy to install?

Yes, our pitched rooflights are designed for straightforward installation by a competent professional. Multiple units can often be installed in a single day with minimal disruption.

Can pitched rooflights be installed on flat roofs?

Yes, many types of pitched rooflights can also be installed on flat or nearly flat roofs.

Will pitched rooflights improve my home's energy efficiency?

In most cases, yes. They do this by flooding your space with beneficial natural light. This enables you to keep the electric lights off, especially during the winter season when standard windows alone don't allow enough light in. Pitched rooflights that open will also enable you to greatly improve ventilation in your home. During the summer, this will result in a cooler home and should enable you to turn the air conditioner off from time to time.

Will I lose heat in the winter through pitched rooflights?

It's highly unlikely. Our pitched rooflights are built to precise specifications. They also feature double and triple pane glass that does an outstanding job of preventing heat transfer (heat loss). Many types of pitched rooflights are also available with what are called thermal brakes in the framework. The thermal brake is insulation that prevents heat from escaping through the frame.

Are pitched rooflights durable?

Yes, high-quality pitched rooflights like the ones we sell at Rooflights Roof Lanterns are extremely durable. With professional installation and basic maintenance, they can be expected to last 15 - 20 years. Those made using UV-resistant materials are likely to last longer, perhaps as long as 20 to 30 years. Maybe even longer.

Ordering Rooflights for Pitched Roofs
