Benefits Of an Eaves Rooflight
Eaves rooflights are designed to maximise natural daylight by introducing light from two angles — both overhead and vertically. This allows daylight to wash across walls and ceilings, creating a brighter, more open interior space.
By combining a horizontal roof section with a vertical glazed window, an eaves rooflight helps make rooms feel larger, lighter and more connected to the outdoors. This makes them ideal for extensions, renovations and modern architectural designs
For properties located on higher ground levels, eaves rooflights can be used to provide controlled outward views while still prioritising natural light and privacy.
