Rooflight brands

Hi

I am looking to buy rooflights from a site that is offering a choice of different brands that all seen to be what I want. Is there something particular or specific brands that I should look for or just go for the cheapest?

Thanks

  • Very difficult to really know what you are asking.  If you have a brand in mind, perhaps best to say what it is if you want opinions on it.

    I bought velux blinds from the velux online shop at a decent Black Friday discount (16 percent). So it might be worth looking out for sales there.

    I've always stuck with Velux for pitched rooflights, but shop around for the best price online.  

    https://www.building-supplies-online.co.uk/ usually comes good for me.

    You would need a roofer for the roofing bit, definitely.  And then a carpenter or general builder for the ceiling work.

    For example a brand name Brett Martin is the cheapest and has a laminated inner pane which I understand is a good idea, is there s reason i a should avoid this one? I'm just after a flat rooflight for a flat roof. The site I'm looking at is rooflights-skylights.co.uk
