How Will Our Skylights for Outbuildings Benefit You?

Most outbuildings, whether domestic or commercial, are designed and built to perform a specific function. In contrast to other types of buildings, aesthetics and interior décor are not normally a big concern when planning or developing new outbuildings so why would you even consider installing skylights in yours?

Reduced Energy Costs – This is an especially important benefit for commercial organisations with a large number of outbuildings but it can be useful for owners of residential properties with outbuildings too. With more natural light making its way into the interior of each building, you won’t have to rely on artificial lighting during the daytime any longer. This can lead to substantial savings on utility bills.

Greater Productivity – For commercial workspaces, skylights can be an excellent addition. Studies have shown that people exposed to more natural light generally enjoy better moods than those who are deprived of it. Studies have also shown that workers are more productive when they are in a good mood.

More Fresh Air – If you decide to install skylights for outbuildings that can be opened and closed, you will be better able to regulate the amount of fresh air that is circulating in your outbuildings at any given time.

Easy Installation – All of the skylights that we sell are designed to be very easy to install. Coupled with the fact they are made to measure, this means you should be able to have them fitted in a very short space of time, with a minimum of disruption to you or anyone else that may be using the outbuildings in question.

Frequently Asked Questions

Skylights come in all sizes and styles, so there is bound to be one that is just right for your shed, standalone garage, barn, pool house or detached studio or office. Just about any outbuilding that would benefit from more natural light is a good candidate for a skylight.

They're not. The same beautiful, durable skylights that are installed on homes and commercial buildings are also installed on outbuildings. There are a limited number of skylights that are specifically built for outbuildings, and these typically have more robust framing and glazing.

It depends on many factors. The biggest one is who performed the installation. If it was done by an experienced and qualified professional, you're likely to get long life from your outbuilding skylights. However, if the interior of the outbuilding is not insulated and the skylight is exposed to extreme cold and heat from both inside and out, it may reduce the useful life of the skylight.

It's unlikely, unless the outbuilding is easily visible from the street. Also, if the property is located in a designated conservation area, you may need to obtain planning permission. We recommend you talk to your local authority and find out.

In many cases, yes. Sealed skylights are extremely durable, low-maintenance and a good choice for any space where robust ventilation is not an issue. Especially if the outbuilding already has windows. 

In many cases, yes. There are some skylights that are specifically designed to be installed on metal or corrugated or agricultural roofing. The key to a successful installation on such a roof is proper flashing around the skylight to prevent leakage.

It is your outbuilding and your skylights, so you can ultimately do what you want. However, that said, we would strongly recommend against performing a self-installation. Our experience has taught us that most leaks and roof damage can be traced back to a DIY installation. We highly recommend you hire a qualified professional to install your skylights for outbuildings. And remember, a DIY installation will likely void the warranty.
