What are triple glazed rooflights?
A rooflight is simply a window that is built into the roof. It could be a small, single pane of glass, or it could be a large and expansive rooflight that accounts for most of the roof. Triple glazing is effectively three panes of glass that are separated by argon gas. This latest innovation in window insulation is a step ahead of double-glazing.Â
So, with that in mind, read on to discover more about installing a triple glazed flat roof skylight.
What are the benefits of triple glazing for your flat roof skylight?
There are many benefits to gain by opting for a triple glazed rooflight over other options that are available. The main reason why people opt for triple glazing is because it is a better insulator. This means that less heat is going to escape your home through your newly installed roof light. While double-glazed flat roof lights also act as an effective barrier, triple glazing effectively adds another layer, further boosting the insulating qualities of the window. Not only does this mean a warmer home during the winter months, but it means lower energy bills too. After all, your home will stay warmer for longer, meaning you won’t need to have your central heating turned on as much. You can expect a much more peaceful home too. This is because the extra insulation also acts as a sound barrier. If that was not enough, triple glazing is also much more secure.
Now that you are aware of the best type of glazing for your roof lights, it is important to take a look at the other design elements that need to be considered when selecting flat glazed roof lights. Size is one of the major concerns here. Many customers miss out on the full range of benefits by choosing roof windows that are too small for the area of the room. Shape is also an important consideration, particularly in relation to size.
There is a common misconception that pyramid-style roof lights mean you can get more natural sunlight at a smaller size. You also need to consider what rooflight upstands you are going to choose. Upstands refer to the frames that the roof light sits in. You also need to think about roof access. If you have a roof garden, you need to insure the rooflight is just as beautiful from the exterior as it is from the interior.
