Choose the Right Roof Light Product
Next big decision - which type suits your home? Comparison factors:
- Available Space – Sun tunnels require only small surface diameter versus large roof light dimensions
- Location – Less visible solutions if street facing. Consider privacy impacts.
- Budget – Tunnel options cost roughly half less than openable glass roof lights
- Roof Type – Tunnels suit flat construction without gradients. Angled only appropriate for roof lights with weather proofed flashing
- Desired Features – Manual ventilation or triple glazing extras bump up pricing
If you’ve existing functioning roof windows but lack light between these points, sun tunnels bridge the gap throwing sunshine into previously gloomy spots via ceiling diffusers. Glazing Works London site surveyors determine best fit.
How Much is Sky Light Installation?
Cost depends hugely on roof construction complexity:
- Pitched Roof Installation – Simple “above rafter” installation without structural work starts ~£800 per unit
- Flat Roof Installation – From £1200 per skylight given additional weatherproofing demands
Factor peripheral works like:
- Roof Membrane Cutting – Thermal imaging ensures rafters/wires avoided
