Boosting Light

Clever glazing solutions, rooflights and sun pipes will fill your home with daylight and brighten dark corners

Natural light is one of the most desirable qualities an extension or conversion can have, but despite its ability to transform a space, it’s often overlooked. Here’s how to introduce more light into your new space.

Rooflights let far more light into the home than vertical windows. They're wonderfully versatile, too – available in both opening and fixed styles, they can be fitted on flat or pitched roofs, over kitchen islands or above staircases. Raised pyramid and lantern designs will allow daylight to flood the space while adding drama and height to the interior, and can even be fitted with remote control openings for ventilation.
