Building a timber frame for a rooflight is an easy way to install your rooflight, but many people think a 150mm timber upstand is all you need.

Most flat glass rooflights, including the Brightside range we sell, require a minimum 5° pitch. A typical flat roof falls at around 1:60, which isn’t enough to meet this requirement. So, you need to build the additional slope into the timber upstand - approximately 88mm over 1 metre.

The slope needed on your roof light based on glass size:

600mm = 53mm
750mm = 66mm
900mm = 80mm
1200mm = 106mm
1500mm = 132mm
2000mm = 176mm

Another point to note: adding the slope will increase the height of your upstand. With a rubber roof kit, the standard external corner patch is designed for upstands up to 150mm high. If your upstand is higher, upgrade to 12" tape or use two patches.

What is the difference between a rooflight and a skylantern?

A standard flat rooflight installs flush with the ceiling line, providing a clean, low-profile appearance that directs natural light into tight spaces like hallways or utility rooms with a modern finish.

On the other hand, a skylantern extends vertically from a flat roof, using pitched glass panels to catch daylight from all directions while adding striking overhead height to modern extensions, making a room feel more open.

Choosing between a flat rooflight and a roof lantern comes down to your preference and budget.
