Ultrasky Roof Windows UK

Date: 22/07/19

Roof windows are becoming increasingly popular in the UK thanks to the growing trend for orangeries and flat roof extensions. If you’re thinking about adding either of these popular home improvements to your home, then you will probably be looking for the best UK roof windows and wondering how you order them, how are they made and where are they despatched from.
The first decision you need to make is about the type of roof window UK you are going to choose. There are two basic styles of roof window – lantern roof windows and flat skylight roof windows.

Here’s a guide to explain the difference between lantern roof windows and flat skylight roof windows:
•    Lantern roof windows are like a small conservatory roof. They are pitched, with panes of glass sloping up towards a central bar at the top of the lantern roof window which is called the ridge. When looking up into a lantern roof window you can see a mix of bars and the different panes of glass.
•    Flat skylight roof windows are like a flat window in your home but used in the roof of your orangery or extension. Flat skylight roof windows are made up of one large single pane of glass which sit atop a kerb. When looking up into a flat skylight roof window you can simply see one large single pane of glass and no bars.

There is no right or wrong option when choosing roof windows UK for your orangery or extension project – it’s all down to personal preference and whether you prefer the pitched height and bars of a lantern, or the contemporary simplicity of a flat skylight. A lantern roof window can be seen as adding a sense of grandeur to an extension of orangery thanks to the additional height that it brings to the structure, while flat skylight roof windows UK lend themselves to ultra-modern projects, due to their simple clean lines. You can still achieve an additional sense of height with a flat skylight roof window by increasing the depth of the kerb. From the interior, this will mean that there is a plastered alcove leading up from the opening in the ceiling to the flat roof window.
