Are Rooflights Worth the Investment?

Nothing is more pleasing than stepping into a room flooded with natural light. That’s the magic of rooflights – a home improvement option that’s been gaining popularity.

But are they worth the investment? We certainly think so. Let’s shed some light on this topic and explore why rooflights are an excellent investment.

What are Rooflights?

Rooflights, also known as skylights or roof windows, are openings installed directly into the roof of a building. These architectural features are designed to allow natural daylight to enter spaces from above. They dramatically brighten rooms without the use of artificial light.

The Benefits of Rooflights

Here are the key benefits rooflights could offer you:

Flooding Your Home with Natural Light

One of the primary reasons homeowners choose rooflights is the abundance of natural light they bring into a space. Unlike traditional windows, rooflights can capture up to three times more daylight, transforming dark, gloomy areas into bright, inviting spaces. This influx of natural light can profoundly impact your home’s ambience and well-being.

Natural light has been proven to boost mood, increase productivity, and improve sleep patterns. By installing rooflights, you’re not just improving your home’s a

esthetics but investing in your family’s health and happiness.

Energy Efficiency

At Poole Joinery, we’re proud to offer Ultraframe rooflights, which boast impressive thermal efficiency. With U-values as low as 1.1 W/m²K, these rooflights are designe

d to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. This means you can improve your aesthetics and reduce your energy bills – a win-win-win situation for your wallet, home and the environment.

The energy-saving potential of rooflights extends beyond thermal efficiency. By allowing more natural light into your home, you can reduce your reliance on artificial lighting during daylight hours, further cutting down on energy consumption.

Fresh Air

Many of our rooflights come with ventilation options, allowing you to improve air circulation in your home. This can be particularly beneficial in areas prone to moisture build-up, such as kitchens or bathrooms. Proper ventilation is crucial for maintaining a healthy home environment. It helps to reduce humidity, prevent mould growth, and remove indoor air pollutants. With vented rooflights, you can enhance your home’s air quality while enjoying the benefits of natural light.

Strong and Durable

Our rooflights are built to last. Tested to withstand winds up to 130mph, they’re ready to face whatever the weather throws at them. This durability ensures that your investment will continue to pay dividends for years to come.

Plus, with a 10-year warranty, you can rest easy knowing your investment is protected. This long-term guarantee is a testament to the confidence we have in the quality of our products and installations.
