Where could I get this exact skylight? Is it custom made? How much would it cost approx for 4mx1.2m ?
Thank you so much in advance

Hi Tanya,

The skylight is custom made, as is always the case for Victorian properties due to the angled structure.

The cost of a 4m x 1.2m skylight would be around £6-10000 + VAT.

Thanks,

We will have a 2.8m ceiling and Westin have advised their Stratus ceiling extractor would work - in fact they don't set a height limit just say it should be set at the highest point in the room. Might work for you? We also have two skylights but our other one runs the other way so as to best allow light into the internal seating area (where your utility is) - so ours won't match at all! if you want symmetry though, why not push your other one over to the side as well- wouldmake lighting the dining table easier!

Can anyone help? We are building a 3m extension with floor to ceiling glass doors (2.5m high x 8m wide). I have been warned the room could overheart and we need an opening skylight , but they are expensive. The house is east facing - can anyone tell me if this is necessary please?

Flat skylight vs roof lantern

Interesting question, and at least from my point of view, possibly more complex to answer than you may realize ... I suspect, but currently don't either have the time or mathematical rigor to fully model this from first principles, that a lantern will get you more light in a north-facing situation. This is for a combination of reasons: Reflection / Transmission ratios depend on the angle of incidence; steeper (i.e. "head on") means more transmission. Since the panes of a lantern are more-inclined than a flat rooflight (even on a pitched roof), expect more light through. For north-facing windows (i.e. permanently shadowed), it's _ambient_ light that counts - i.e. the more or less even brightness of the blue sky (or, less-bright evenly overcast sky ...). A roof lantern, with panes facing two or four different directions, is again "catching" more ambient light at steeper angles (transmitting it inside). Ambient light (blue sky) is polarized to a strong degree, and reflection/transmission also depends on polarization (strongest: 90 degrees from the Sun, or - "generally northwards"). On some times of the day, ambient sky polarization may be such that a flat rooflight will reflect a larger proportion of light than at others. Again, the differently-oriented panes of a lantern would balance this out more. If indeed your geometry is such that the roof opening would not be in the shadow all day long but receive some sunlight at some hours ... then a pitched-north-facing flat rooflight would be oriented disfavourably at such hours (away from the sun, so getting the light at shallow angles, reflecting much). I'm not a technical consultant for this kind of advice (only have a physics background, which makes me a decent smart-*ss on such questions), and I can't say out of my head if a lantern would give you twice-as-much light in your situation, or only 10%-more-light. And then, the glazing (coated, and how ? double/triple glazing ? water-white glass or ordinary "greenish" float glass?) also plays a role. If you want it quantified, contact a professional. Right-to-light surveys commonly do such calculations (if for a slightly different reason ... how much light do I loose if that five-storey block of flat is being built on my doorstep ...). Also ... an alternative, in some situations, may be an extension with a ridged roof (i.e. two opposite pitches), and then two flat rooflights (facing east/west). Large roof lanterns don't come cheap after all.
