When it comes to adding natural light and a modern finish to your home or flat roof extension, frameless rooflights are a new, popular choice among homeowners and designers alike. But what are frameless rooflights, and why are they becoming more popular?

In this blog, we’ll explore what frameless rooflights are, how they differ from traditional rooflights, and the key benefits of choosing one for your property.

What Are Frameless Rooflights?

A frameless rooflight is essentially a flat rooflight without the aluminium frame. They offer a more minimalist appearance compared to framed rooflights, installed onto a flat roof to let natural light flood into a space below. Unlike traditional framed designs, the frameless version still meets the necessary UK building regulations, without the need of bulky external frames, creating a sleek appearance both inside and out.

The term ‘frameless’ refers to the streamlined appearance due to the product consisting of just the glass panel. This makes the installation process simple, and the internal visual appeal much cleaner.

The Difference Between Framed and Frameless Rooflights

When looking at what flat roof windows you may want for your home, both framed and frameless designs are a popular option to get the maximum amount of light into your living space.

The simple difference between the two – framed roof windows have framed counterparts, whereas frameless rooflights consist of just the glass. The frameless design means the unit is simply siliconed to a unique timber upstand, and blends seamlessly into the flat roof.

Key Features of Frameless Rooflights

Frameless rooflights are a wise investment. Not only is there less upfront cost, but they also offer excellent benefits including uninterrupted views and excellent energy efficiency.

Minimalist Aesthetics

With no external frame, frameless designs create a crisp, modern look that fits beautifully with contemporary homes and flat roofs. Their simplicity ensures they are suitable for any style, and fit within any room.

Maximum Natural Light

Their clean, frameless style allows more light to pour into your room without obstruction, making spaces feel bigger and brighter. Offering more sunlight, and excellent functionality when looking to make darker spaces brighter.

Thermally Efficient

Like framed flat roof windows, frameless rooflights are manufactured for optimum safety and energy efficiency. Only advanced glass is used to maintain excellent u-values and structural integrity in our products here at Lantern Superstore. This high-performance glazing not only ensures excellent durability, but also helps to maintain indoor comfort and reduce energy bills.

Easy Installation

Frameless rooflights are super easy to install. Each frameless skylight can be installed in as little as 20 minutes, depending on the size of the unit.

Manufactured for multiple purposes, the rooflights can be installed in kitchens, extensions, stairwells, hallways and more – anywhere with a flat roof. This means they are suitable for a variety of projects.
