Top-Quality Skylights for Workshops

Our skylights are made to very high standards, to ensure they are exceptionally durable. This makes them a great choice for workshops and other types of buildings where wear and tear may be a greater concern than it is in normal residential properties.

Resilient Materials – From the frames and fixings, to the glazing itself, all of the components in our skylights are fabricated from materials that are able to withstand many years of exposure to wind, rain, sleet, hail and snow.

Practical Designs – Our skylight designs include thermal breaks to prevent cold bridging, ensuring excellent insulating performance in all types of buildings and all types of weather conditions.

Quality Glazing – Whether you choose single, double or triple glazing for your new skylights, you can rest assured it will be of the very highest quality.

High-Security Fixings – Our skylight packages include high-security fixings that make them very difficult to tamper with. This is a great feature that owners of both domestic and commercial workshops are sure to appreciate.

In short, if you want to ensure that the skylights for workshops you install are of the highest possible quality, you need to order them from Rooflights & Roof Lanterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Workshops benefit from natural light, which provides the craftsmen or artisans with enhanced visibility to perform detailed tasks. Natural light in a workshop also reduces eye strain and creates a more relaxed and comfortable environment. Consistent overhead light in a workshop also minimises shadows, which can be a major distraction.

What works best for one workshop might not be the best choice for another. That said, fixed skylights tend to be the most popular choice because of their low-maintenance durability. However, if the workshop produces excessive heat or fumes, then opening (venting) skylights may be a better choice.

That will depend entirely on the size and configuration of your workshop. In general, it is recommended that the area of your skylights equals 5-10% of the floor area in the workshop. But other factors, like ceiling height and where in the workshop the need for light is most acute, will also weigh on how many skylights you install.

That will depend on where the workshop is located, but even then, it is pretty unlikely. The only reasons you might need planning permission are if the workshop is in a Listed building, if the workshop is located in a historical or conservation area or if the workshop is located on your personal property.

If you are concerned that direct sunlight streaming in from the skylights will cause your workshop to overheat, you can have UV filters installed on the skylights that will block virtually all heat-causing UV rays from getting in. In addition, you can install retractable blinds that can be closed during times of peak sunlight.

If they are professionally installed and well-maintained, there is no reason your workshop skylights shouldn't last 15 - 20 years or more.

You can, but we would strongly advise against it. First of all, a self-installation will likely void any warranty on your skylights. But beyond that, our experience teaches us that most skylight leaks or damage to the surrounding roof area can be traced back directly to a DIY installation. We strongly urge all our customers to leave skylight installation to the professionals.
