Flat Roof Lights in Buckhorn Weston
Flat Roof Lights, Buckhorn Weston
Three frameless flat roof lights, fitted in Buckhorn Weston by Kyle and Cam from our own installation team.
Daylight from Above
The roof lights sit in a low-pitched roof running along the side of the house, where wall windows alone could not bring in enough light. Light from above reaches much further into a room than light from the side, so three roof lights in a row light the whole space below evenly through the day, even on a grey Dorset morning like the one in the photo.
A Clean, Frameless Look
From inside, all you see is glass and sky. The units sit on slim black upstands with no bulky frame across the view, and their black finish sits neatly against the slate roof next to them.
Self-Cleaning Glass
Roof lights are hard to reach, so these have self-cleaning glass. Its coating uses daylight to break down dirt, and rain washes it away, so the glass stays clear with very little upkeep. The units are double glazed, so they keep the heat in during the winter.
Fitted by Our Own Team
Kyle and Cam fitted all three roof lights, sealed them in properly and left everything clean and tidy before they went.

Roof Lights: Your Questions Answered
Do roof lights let in more light than windows?
Yes. Light coming in through the roof spreads much further into a room than light through a wall window of the same size, which makes roof lights ideal for extensions and rooms where the walls have little space for windows.
What is self-cleaning glass?
Self-cleaning glass has a coating on the outside that uses daylight to break down dirt. When it rains, the water spreads evenly across the glass and washes the loosened dirt away, so the glass needs cleaning far less often.
Can roof lights go on a pitched roof?
Flat roof lights like these are made for flat and low-pitched roofs. For a steeper pitched roof a different type of roof window is used, and we can advise on the best option when we visit.
Will roof lights make the room cold?
No. The units are double glazed with a thermally efficient frame, so they keep the heat in. A good roof light lets you have the light without the room losing warmth.
How long does it take to fit roof lights?
Fitting roof lights into a prepared opening usually takes a day or less. Kenny will check the roof and the openings when he visits and talk you through what is involved.
Do you cover Buckhorn Weston?
Yes. We work throughout the villages around Gillingham, Wincanton and Shaftesbury, including Buckhorn Weston, Kington Magna and Cucklington.
