But how much light will they actually get? Adding a rooflight isn't just about providing light and ventilation. it's about optimising top light in the most effective way. White Light In the UK, the majority of light we get is bright white light from the sun. Light from Above Light from above has a different quality to light from the side Directional Light With light from above you get a directional shaft of light. Paint with Light We believe architects have the opportunity to use our rooflights as a tool to paint with light. Rooflight Placement Flat Roof Extension, Oxfordshire The image above is a real-life example of how founder of the Rooflight Company and architect Peter King, RIAS, has simulated where light and shadows will fall. The trio of rooflights to the left of the roof has been purposely located here so that morning to noon light will play off the side wall interiors. One of the rooflights was also fitted with a motor to provide ventilation. The central rooflight is located over the lounge area and acts as an inverted sundial, with the sun moving around the lounge as the day progresses indicating the passing of time. SketchUP can be used to model where sunlight and shadows will fall at any time of the day and any point in the year. Why not try it for yourself? Light From Above with Peter King There are lots of interesting things you can do with light. As an architect I have a very real interest in how light will look inside my interiors. By using rooflights to create an inverse sundial, you can not only create dramatic patterns but also show where the sun is passing through the sky. PETER KING, RIAS Some examples of how rooflights have been placed to bring space to life.
