More and more homeowners are looking at extending their homes instead of moving, whether converting the garage or building into the loft space. Getting natural light into the room could be complicated; however, skylights could be the answer. 

There are several different skylights available, so here is a quick run-through of three of the most popular:

Flat glass skylights are the simplest skylight forms and can be double, triple, or quadruple glazed. This type of skylight will require an upstand to support the glass unit. Still, a professional installer will advise on what this is and why it is needed.

Flat roof lanterns & pyramids can add up to three times more light into a room are have a modern aesthetic. These skylights tend to be non-opening, but vent flaps can be added and are manual or electrically operated.

Flat glass domed skylights lead the way when it comes to skylights. They offer all the advantages as a flat glass skylight plus an added polycarbonate dome which helps keep outside noises out.
