Daylight Solutions

The most obvious reason to install a glass rooflight is to improve natural daylight in your building. Natural light has a number of benefits, the obvious one being that your home/business gets flooded with light from outside so you are not sat in artificial light all day, reducing your energy bills and generally making us feel better. All our glass rooflights are designed to maximise daylight and reduce framework. There is always a trade off between heat gain / loss and light transmittance. With so many glass options now available you need to talk to one of our experts about selecting the right glass rooflight for your project.

Benefits of natural daylight

Natural daylight has been proven to have a positive impact on vision, orientation, productivity, alertness and general health and it has been shown to influence social behaviour and cognitive performance.

Exposure to natural daylight at the right time helps us to regulate our circadian rhythms or body clock, which is governed by the Blue spectrum of light. This allows us to be more productive during the day and sleep better at night.

Improving productivity

In a poorly lit room a lack of Blue daylight allows the build up of Melatonin in the blood stream, which is a naturally occurring chemical within the body causing drowsiness and is natures way of preparing us for sleep as darkness begins to fall.

Research has shown that naturally occurring Blue light inhibits the secretion of Melatonin, the problem is that most artificial lighting solutions produce only Red/Orange or Green/Yellow light which does not have the same effect, so in poorly or artificially lit rooms one can often feel more sleepy and less productive.
