Skylights
Bring natural light and fresh air into your loft conversion, bathroom, or any room with a pitched roof.
Skylights & Roof Windows
Skylights are the ideal solution for bringing natural light into rooms where conventional windows aren't an option. Perfect for loft conversions, bathrooms, stairwells, and any space beneath a pitched roof, they transform dark areas into bright, inviting living spaces.
Our skylights are available as fixed units for pure illumination, or opening models that provide valuable ventilation. Electric versions offer convenient remote-control operation, and premium models include rain sensors that automatically close the window when it starts to rain.
Fitted with high-performance glazing and weather-tight seals, our skylights are designed to withstand the British weather whilst keeping your home warm and energy efficient.

Excellent quality and workmanship. The lads were a pleasure to have at our home and they worked hard. Rapide gave us a great price and quality installation. Grant makes it all run smoothly. We will be back for more! Thanks everyone at Rapide Frame Supplies.
Professional from start to finish. Grant was patient whilst we chose the window design, helping us to achieve the look we had visioned. The fitters were great, trust worthy and constantly ensuring we were happy! Thanks again Rapide Frame!
Chose which doors we’d like in mid-January, and received confirmation from Grant that they had been delivered on 16th February, just had them fitted on 18th February. A very quick and smooth process, and the doors look amazing. Will definitely use again when required

Skylights FAQs
What is the difference between a skylight and a roof lantern?
Skylights sit flush or near-flush with the roof surface, making them ideal for pitched roofs. Roof lanterns are raised, multi-sided structures that sit above flat roofs. Both bring in natural light, but skylights are more discreet.
Can skylights be installed on any roof?
Skylights are designed for pitched roofs and can be fitted to most roof types, including tiles and slate. For flat roofs, we'd recommend a flat rooflight or roof lantern instead.
Can skylights be opened for ventilation?
Yes, we offer both fixed and opening skylights. Opening models are available with manual or electric operation. Electric versions can be controlled by remote and some models include rain sensors for automatic closing.
Are skylights energy efficient?
Yes, our skylights feature high-performance double or triple glazing with low-emissivity coatings. They're designed to maximise light while minimising heat loss, which helps keep energy bills down.
Do skylights come with a guarantee?
Yes, all our skylights are covered by a comprehensive 10-year guarantee on both the product and the installation.
