We’ll guide you through the benefits and options available to you, as well as ideas to help you make the most of every ray of sunlight. So, let’s dive in!
What Are Multi-Paned Rooflights?
Multi-paned rooflights are rooflights made of multiple glass panes arranged together as windows. Designed to bring light and give your home a clean, contemporary look, rooflights are thin framed, so you see more glass, and less metal, which means the room will feel brighter and more spacious.
Multi-paned rooflights are ideal if you would like a large glass area on your roof or if you simply like the sleek frameless look. No matter what room you are modernizing, a kitchen, living room or hallway, multi-paned rooflights can bring natural light and fresh air into space.
Advantages of Multi-Paned Rooflights
- Brighter and More Even Natural Light
Multi-paned rooflights allow sunlight to enter from different angles, helping spread natural light more evenly throughout the room. This means fewer dark corners and less need to switch on lights during the day. Bowalker’s multi-pane rooflights are designed with edge-to-edge glass, which helps bring in even more daylight without any bulky frames getting in the way. - Better Energy Efficiency
These rooflights are built with multiple glass layers that help keep indoor temperatures stable. In winter, they hold the heat in, and in summer, they block extra heat, helping you save on heating and cooling costs. Bowalker’s rooflights offer top-level insulation with argon-filled glazing and a thermally broken aluminium frame for all-season comfort. - Sleek and Stylish Look
Multi-pane rooflights add a clean, modern feel to your space with their slim frames and large glass panels. They fit beautifully in kitchens, extensions, and modern builds, blending style with function. Bowalker’s rooflights feature a frameless, edge-to-edge glass design that gives your ceiling a seamless and elegant finish. - Peaceful and Quiet Indoors
The thick, layered glass helps block out outside noise, making your home feel more peaceful and calmer. Whether you live near a busy road or in a noisy neighbourhood, multi-paned rooflights can help reduce the sound that enters your space. This is perfect for creating a relaxing atmosphere in bedrooms, offices, or living areas. - Safe and Built to Last
Multi-pane rooflights are stronger and more secure than single-pane options. They are made with toughened glass that resists breaking, giving you peace of mind during storms or accidental impacts. Some models also offer UV protection, which helps keep your furniture from fading over time.
What Are Roof Lantern Rooflights?
Roof lantern rooflights are glass structures that sit on top of a flat roof and rise above it like a small glass pyramid or box. They are made to let in lots of natural light from above and brighten up the room below. Unlike flat rooflights, which lie level with the roof, roof lanterns stick out and become a beautiful feature of the home. They don’t just bring in daylight; they also make the space look more open and stylish.
Advantages of Roof Lantern RoofLights
- Fills Your Home with Natural Light
Roof lanterns are designed to let in light from all angles, making your room feel bright and welcoming throughout the day. They often allow in more light than flat skylights or windows, especially in darker areas of the house. Bowalker’s roof lanterns use slim 50mm frames to maximise light entry without bulky designs. - Keeps Your Room Warm in Winter and Cool in Summer
Modern roof lanterns are built to hold in warmth during cold months and block heat during warmer days. This helps you stay comfortable year-round without using as much heating or cooling. Bowalker’s roof lanterns come with 28mm glazing and a 1.0 U-value for excellent energy efficiency and lower bills. - Adds a Stunning Focal Point to Your Space
Roof lanterns bring a stylish and eye-catching feature to any room. Whether you’re updating a kitchen, dining area, or home extension, they add elegance and boost the overall look of your home. With Bowalker, you can choose from classic colors like black, grey, and white or request a custom finish to match your design. - Improves Airflow and Ventilation
Many roof lanterns include opening panels that let fresh air flow into your home. This is a great way to reduce moisture, control humidity, and improve indoor air quality naturally. It’s especially helpful in bathrooms, kitchens, or rooms that don’t have many windows. - Makes Your Home Feel Bigger and More Open
Because roof lanterns lift the ceiling visually, they make any room feel taller and more spacious. Even in small or low-light rooms, they add a sense of openness and calm. This sense of space can also make your home more appealing to future buyers.
