If you are building a summer house in your garden, our range of affordable and high-quality skylights could be the ideal feature to optimise the sunlight. A summer house is a great way to create extra space, whether it is for a cosy place to relax or to have the use of an outdoor office. By adding a summer house skylight, you can ensure that your summer house is an ambient outdoor building filled with natural light to boost your mood and increase productivity. A skylight also helps to make smaller buildings feel more spacious and airy.
A skylight, or rooflight, is a glass window that is installed into a ceiling to bring more natural light into the area. Summer house rooflights are the perfect addition to brighten up your summer house. Whether you are converting an existing outdoor building into a summer house or you are building a new summer house, incorporating a summer house conversion skylight or rooflight into your project will ensure you enjoy the many benefits of having a large intake of natural light.
Summer House Rooflights
Adding skylights to your summer house
Adding a skylight to your summer house can help to reduce your energy consumption as there is less reliance on artificial light, especially if you intend to spend most of your time in the summer house during daylight hours.
Another key benefit of installing a summer house roof window is that you can add value to your property, as a sun-encapsulating space will be a valuable home improvement that will be an appealing feature if you want to sell your property at some time in the future. Choosing the best skylight for your summer house will help to ensure your summer house stays in great condition for longer.
Rooflights enable your summer house to benefit from natural light throughout the day, whereas wall windows will only receive sunlight at points of the day when the sun is facing the window. If your summer house is situated next to a wall or fence, you will be limited for areas to install windows, so a summer house roof window is the best option for optimising natural light.
All our skylights come with a 10-year guarantee and are leak-free, fully encapsulated designs that are built to last.
The cost of summer house rooflights
The costs of summer house skylights vary greatly, ranging from £165 plus VAT for a frameless fixed rooflight to closer to £1,000 for large, framed rooflights. Our Made in Britain skylights come in standard sizes or can be bespoke measurements to suit to your specifications.
Skylights for your summer house roof
Our range of framed and frameless rooflights are only suitable for summer houses with flat roofs, so if you are still at the point of choosing your summer house, you should consider whether you want a flat or pitched roof. A flat roof is typically less expensive and easier to maintain as they are easier to access.
Once you have decided on the building design for your new summer house or converted summer house, you can easily install your flat roof skylight to ensure you benefit from a roof window that gets all-day natural light, as it is facing the sky, unlike wall windows which will get less hours of daylight. You can also choose from clear, solar or privacy glass to suit your requirements.
Installing our rooflights in summer houses
One of the great benefits of choosing our fixed rooflights is that installation is hassle-free and they can often be fitted by someone with a moderate level of DIY skills. This means you can keep your skylight costs to a minimum even if you hire a tradesperson to do the installation, as the labour hours should be low.

There are many ways that rooflights can be utilised to maximise the use of a summer house. These are some of the most popular summer house skylight ideas:
Add a large rooflight to provide a warm and relaxing summer house
If you are planning on using your summer house as a place to relax and read or listen to music, installing a large rooflight will bring in huge volumes of natural light, boosting your well-being as you make time for unwinding.
Improve office productivity with natural light
Research shows that natural light can improve your productivity levels, so adding a skylight into your office summer house can be beneficial to your work. You will also save on the costs of artificial lighting, as you will benefit from natural light throughout the working day.
Enjoy evenings connecting with nature
A summer house is not just a great place to spend daytimes, evenings can be spent connecting with nature, gazing at the stars or enjoying a meal or drinks. Our skylights come with Thermal Super Spacer technology as standard, which retains the heat in the building, providing a cosy and snug place to relax in the evening.
