This month we’re looking at introducing light from above using extensive roof glazing. One of the biggest untapped resources we have in our homes is natural daylight, and with a large area of glazing we can steal every last drop of the setting sun!
When you begin the design process, it’s useful to think about which rooms you want to capture the sun and at what time of day. You may want to wake up to the sun or have dinner in a sunroom. Whatever your preferences, roof glazing will help. As your roof won’t generally be blocked from the sun, in theory a room can get sunshine all day long. Another benefit is that the feel of the room will change throughout the day as the shadows cast by the sun move across its surfaces.
