Many people think that a flat roof has many disadvantages, like being prone to leaks and problems, but today that’s simply not the case.

Nowadays, flat roofs can also be made extremely watertight. Furthermore, a flat roof has the advantage that space can be used in the room beneath it. With a pointed roof, there is a lot of space due to sloping roofs. And finally, a flat roof already has the advantage that you can easily mount a light dome on it. That is more difficult on a sloping roof. And … there are plenty of reasons to install a light dome or skylight in a flat roof. Below is an overview of the top five advantages.

1. Much more light

The name skylight has of course not fallen from the sky. The main purpose of glass skylights is to provide more light in the space underneath. With a light dome you make optimal use of daylight. A light dome provides 30 to 50 percent more light than a window or window that has the same size. And that saves a lot on the energy bill, because the lamp needs less often. And in sunny weather during the winter you get more heat at home.

2. Many choices of types of skylights

Light domes are available in all shapes, sizes and styles. From simple and basic to extremely luxurious and large. So you can choose from skylights with ventilation, skylights that you can open, domes with electric remote control and natural skylights in all kinds of colors and variants.

3. Good insulation

Nowadays, light domes are of such a high quality that they isolate both heat well, as well as sounds from inside and outside. Suppose it rains, then the better skylights and light beams are made so that they partly absorb the sound of the rain.

4. Cooling in the summer

There are various types of light domes. Such as skylights that are permanently mounted, but also skylights that you can open, just like a window. The latter is ideal during an above-average warm summer. By opening the dome light, you get a lot of fresh air in a quick way and cool it down faster. That is obviously very comfortable, especially if you do not have air conditioning in the house.

5. Luxurious appearance of skylights and light streets

Skylights and light streets give your home a modern and luxurious look. And at the same time they also increase the view upwards. You can enjoy beautiful cloud decks through a dome light, a clear blue skies and of course the nice warm sun!
