Why Rooflights are a Must-Have for Your Kitchen Renovation

With house prices continuously creeping upwards, renovations have become increasingly popular in recent years as homeowners take on the “don’t move, improve” mindset. According to Houzz Research, this accompanies a focus on improving kitchens by making them bigger, open-plan, and open to the outdoors¹. Promoting modern design trends, functionality, energy efficiency, and a rise in eventual resale value, rooflights are the perfect complement to any kitchen renovation.

As spaces essential for family time, cooking, dining, and socialising with guests, modern kitchens seek to adopt the duties of a living room too, often with the inclusion of sofas and a TV². To add to this, access directly to the garden means that the traditional conservatory is slowly becoming obsolete, too.

For renovations that prioritise all of this, natural light is essential, and rooflights open a space to as much of it as possible, offering up to three times more daylight than vertical windows. Resulting from their direct alignment with the sun, any diffused or reflected light from nearby structures is minimal. To take this even further, our rooflights can complement the commonly seen kitchen islands or tables by sitting right above them, illuminating the renovation from the centre to create a picture-perfect dining space.

As well as our popular Fixed Flat Glass Rooflights, we manufacture quality ventilation solutions in our range of Sliding and Vent Flat Glass Rooflights, ideal for eliminating kitchen odours after cooking by allowing fresh air into your space. Newer kitchens are likely to feature innovative home technology, so our recommendation to elevate this is with our Electric Vent Rooflight, which can be conveniently operated via a control panel or remote.

Kitchens are steadily becoming the heart of the home, a place where family and friends will spend time together cooking, baking, dining, and making memories.  This space should rightly be a place that homeowners can be proud of, and we are confident that our rooflights will leave you and your guests impressed.
