One rooflight or a pair?
A single rooflight can define a dining area or kitchen island. Two can help distribute daylight across a longer room, subject to the roof structure and the space available.

A different way to open up a room
Flat glass rooflights for Essex homes.
A flat rooflight introduces daylight from above without the raised, pitched shape of a roof lantern. It is a natural fit for a contemporary flat-roof extension, bringing a view of the sky into kitchens, dining spaces and living areas.
Whether you are planning a new room or improving an existing roof, Spectrum Glazing can help you compare the options. We work with homeowners in Brightlingsea, Colchester, Clacton-on-Sea and across Essex.

Designed around your space
The right light.
In the right place.
Position, size and glass specification all matter. Start with how you want to use your room, then work towards a rooflight that complements it.
Discuss my project ↗Choose glass for the room
Discuss solar-control options, thermal performance and the roof’s orientation. The right balance depends on the amount of glazing, ventilation and how the space is used.
Plan the roof details
The opening, support, upstand and roof covering need to work together. A flat rooflight still needs the installation fall specified by its manufacturer to help water drain.
Rooflight or roof lantern?
Choose the look you love.
A flat rooflight offers a quieter roofline and a simple glazed opening. A roof lantern creates a raised architectural feature with pitched glass and a more pronounced internal shape.
Both bring daylight from above. Compare them alongside your ceiling height, roof design and the view you want from the room.

Useful answers
Your flat rooflight questions.
How much does a flat rooflight cost?
The price depends on the system, size, glass specification and installation work. Roof alterations, access and internal finishing can also affect the cost. Send your project details for a quotation with a clear scope of work.
Can a rooflight be fitted into my existing flat roof?
It may be possible, subject to an assessment of the roof’s structure, condition and layout. The opening, support, upstand and weatherproofing must be suitable for the chosen rooflight.
Is a flat rooflight completely level?
The name describes its low-profile appearance. Installation needs to follow the manufacturer’s requirements, including the specified fall for drainage. We’ll confirm the requirements for the system you choose.
Will the room become too hot in summer?
Comfort depends on the roof’s orientation, glass specification, glazed area, shading and ventilation. Ask us about suitable solar-control options and how the rooflight fits into the wider room design.
Can I have two flat rooflights?
A pair can work well over separate areas of a larger extension. The spacing and opening sizes need to be considered with the roof structure. Select “2 rooflights” in the enquiry form and tell us what you are planning.
How do I clean a flat rooflight?
Follow the glass and frame manufacturer’s care instructions and plan safe access. Ask about the glass options available, but remember that any specialist coating still needs appropriate care. Never stand on roof glazing unless the exact product is specified for that use.
What guarantee will I receive?
Guarantee terms depend on the rooflight, glass and installation. We’ll confirm the applicable cover, exclusions and care requirements with your quotation and order information.
