Benefits Of Eaves rooflight

Eaves rooflights are designed to flood your space with natural light from two angles, brightening both the walls and the ceiling. This creates a beautiful sense of openness, making your home feel larger, lighter, and more connected to the outdoors.

Whether you’re after a sleek, modern design or simply want to enhance the feel of your space, our eaves rooflights offer the perfect blend of style and functionality.

The Eave Rooflight combines a glazed, overhead horizontal ‘roof’ section with a glazed, vertical ‘window’ section. It is designed to be installed within the eaves of your building.

The effect from the inside space is for daylight to sweep into your space through a full 90 degree arc from horizon to overhead.

The Eave Rooflight is often used to form a glazed link between two buildings, with the horizontal section wall-abutted on 3 sides and jointed to the vertical section with a structural silicon seal.
