Flat Roof Windows

FAQS

• Can You Put Windows on a Flat Roof?
  Absolutely! Flat roofs are a great opportunity to install a flat roof window. They are incredibly versatile, so whether your roof is level or pitched, we at Rooflight Centre are sure to have a window for you. Traditional windows aren’t designed to be used on flat roofs like flat roof windows are and are heat soak tested for maximum strength. We offer a range of sizes to ensure that we exclude no roof, no matter how large or small, and the option for low-maintenance glass. Contact us today if you’d like to learn more!
• How Long Do Flat Roof Windows Last?
  With proper maintenance, a flat roof window can endure 15-20 years of use, depending on the type of glass you choose to install and the type of sealant used to surround the panes. The higher the glazing, the more durable your flat roof windows will be. This and a plethora of benefits make higher glazing a better choice. Additionally, the UV-stable silicone seals will keep your flat roof lights air-tight and weather resistant for years to come.
• What Are The Benefits of Flat Roof Windows?
  One of the greatest benefits of flat roof windows is that they let in more natural sunlight than the average window due to their positioning on your roof being perpendicular to the sun. Because they let in so much natural light throughout the day, you won’t have as great a need to turn on the lights during the day or the evening when the sun is still shining, regardless of its position in the sky. Additionally, you can choose from a variety of glass types as well as frames to personalise your flat roof window. They’re also waterproof and low maintenance thanks to their flush fitting on the roof surface.
• How Do You Clean A Flat Roof Window?
  All you need to clean a flat roof window is warm soapy water and a cloth. By using a jet washer, you run the risk of damaging the silicone seal surrounding the panes and compromising the waterproof qualities of the window. Alternatively, you could choose to install low-maintenance glass. Low maintenance glass doesn’t have dips in the panes as ordinary windows do, they are filled in with a microscopic coating that allows dirt to slide away or be easily washed away, as there is no texture for the dirt to adhere to. Contact us today if you’d like to learn more about low-maintenance glass.
• Can You Walk On Flat Roof Windows?
  You can walk on flat roof windows, but only when your window is made with glass designed for this purpose. Although all of the glass used in our flat roof windows is strong and durable, they aren’t supposed to hold the weight of a person. If you’d like to install a window that is safe to walk on, you will need to use toughened laminated glass, a type of glass that endures a destructive heat test to ensure that the glass isn’t liable to shatter when put under pressure.

  Our flat roof lights cost from £338.19 Excluding VAT, which is a great deal that you aren’t likely to find anywhere else!
