Are roof window, roof light, and skylight the same thing?

Here’s what you need to know: roof window should not be confused with roof light and skylight. A roof window follows specifications regarding measurement and orientation during installation. It should be in the same plane and orientation as the roof surrounding it. And since roof windows are installed in the same plane as the roof, they are CE marked. 

Regarding roof light and skylight, some sources say there’s not much difference and the two terms pretty much refer to the same thing. But homeowners are likely to have more options when they decide to go with skylights. That’s because they can be customizable to suit the specific demands of a project. Roof lights offer less avenues for customization but they remain a very popular option because they are also durable and allow for efficient installation. They can still provide you with natural light without requiring you to modify or alter the outside aesthetics of a building. 

Having roof lights allows you more privacy without compromising the amount of natural light you get. Roof lights are also energy efficient, helping you save on energy costs.  Country Roofing Ltd offers roof lights installation services. Visit their website to learn more
