Flood your home with light
With good light being so important in a modern home, it’s no surprise that the demand for flat-roof lanterns is steadily increasing. And with our flat roof lights, that’s exactly what you get.
Flat roof lights are a great way to welcome fresh light into your home with a modern, subtle aesthetic, and are perfect for illuminating tight rooms or areas with minimal window space.
WELCOME DAYLIGHT IN
A flat roof modern skylight can seamlessly transform the lighting of any room it’s installed in. Made from two layers of high performance glass, there are no connecting bars. Combine this with our hidden internal fixings masked by your wall, and you get a skylight that blends flawlessly with your roof.
Both classic and modern in style, our flat roof lights offer exceptional thermal performance, and their slight timber pitch allows water to flow easily off your skylight while keeping the heat in.
Specifically designed to accommodate a low-profile skylight, our XP Skyview skylight can be manufactured in a wide range of sizes, and specifications – whatever you need to fit your skylight plans.
UNIQUELY DESIGNED & ENGINEERED
Our flat roof skylight windows are deceptively simple, yet built with the same structural strength in mind as our lantern roof lights, exceeding the recommended requirements to keep your home protected – no matter the weather. Our flat roof lights can even be triple-glazed for maximum thermal efficiency.
And like all our roof products, our flat roof lanterns are designed and manufactured in our own facility before being installed on-site by our team of technical experts. They’ll work hand-in-hand with you throughout the installation process to bring your dream project to life.
Exceptional thermal performance
Zero interrupting sightlines.
Pitched perfectly to avoid water collection.

FLAT ROOF MODERN SKYLIGHTS FAQ'S
What's the largest flat skylight you can offer?
The largest XP SkyView we can manufacture and install is 3000mm x 1000mm. The widest is 1400mm x 2000mm, we have a size chart on our product specification sheet than can be downloaded from this page.
We can also structurally join our roof lights to create even larger bespoke skylights.
What does the skylight sit on?
The flat skylight needs to sit on a timber upstand with a five degree pitch. Our sales team can send you information on the upstand required but it is straight forward for the builder to prepare this ready for the skylight but it needs to be a minimum of 150mm high to satisfy building regulations and 90mm thick for the roof to sit on.
Can the skylights only be fitted onto a flat roof?
Because the roof needs to sit on a purpose built upstand the XP Sky View can be installed onto pitched roofs up to 25 degrees.
Can you use triple glazing within the skylight?
Yes, as standard we use high performance double glazing but triple glazing is available on request.
