Discover Our Stylish Glass Rooflights & Skylights
Installing a rooflight or glass skylight is one of the most effective ways to transform your space with enhanced natural light. Favoured by architects and interior designers, roof glazing is now a popular choice for homeowners and business owners looking to boost natural light levels and their property value at the same time.
Whether you're working on a flat-roof extension, a modern new-build, or a commercial renovation, the right rooflight can bring a range of benefits.
What are the advantages of installing a fixed glass roof light?
- Brightening interiors by introducing more natural light to rooms on upper floors and spaces with regular foot traffic, such as hallways and stairwells.
- Improving energy efficiency and the overall atmosphere of your building.
- Boosting ventilation and air flow, allowing homeowners to vent hot, humid air, improving air quality, and temperature regulation.
- Increasing the value of the property, as skylights are considered striking, high-value architectural features.
- Aiding with metal health and wellbeing, helping to regulate circadian rhythms due to increased exposure to natural light, which can improve sleep quality, boost serotonin, and reduce stress.
At EGW, we specialise in a premium range of flat glass rooflights and pyramid rooflights, carefully selected for their build quality, performance, and contemporary design. Our current range features high-performance products from trusted UK manufacturer Brett Martin, with plans to expand our offering as new solutions become available.
Fixed, Manual, & Electric Glass Roof Lights
Our range includes flat glass rooflights in fixed, manual opening, and electric opening variations. These are ideal for flat roofs where a sleek, flush finish is preferred – making them perfect for kitchen extensions, orangeries, and residential loft conversions, so you can see the sky year-round.
All models deliver excellent thermal performance, are highly secure, and are built with laminated and toughened glass to enhance their strength and energy efficiency. Black or grey powder-coated aluminium frames are available to blend in with your roof.
Our selection of fixed and opening roof lights includes:
Flat Glass Rooflights

Raised Roof Lanterns
- A striking design feature, perfect for atriums, stairwells, and larger open spaces with minimal external light sources.

Should I choose a manual or electric glass roof light?
Whether a manual or electric glass sky light would be better for your property depends on how often it will be used, where it’s installed, and how much you are looking to spend.
Generally speaking, if you are looking to save money and can easily access the skylight, a manual option should be fine. For hard-to-reach areas, an electric rooflight will make things much easier.
