Comfort optionsSolar-control coating and blinds

Daylight as part of the architecture

A rooflight changes the way the entire room feels.

A deep extension can sometimes feel dark. A large glazed area creates a direct connection with the sky. Timber gives the interior a warm, natural appearance, combined with modern glazing and a clean external finish.

Daylight

Maximum natural light

Multiple large panes bring considerably more daylight indoors than a single conventional roof window.

Space

A brighter, more spacious feel

Light from above makes a kitchen, extension or conservatory feel larger, calmer and more luxurious.

Comfort

HR++ or HR+++ glass

The glazing is selected to suit insulation requirements, solar exposure and the desired indoor comfort.

Appearance

A timeless material combination

Hardwood, glass and a refined external finish complement both modern and traditional homes.

Four forms, one principle

The rooflight follows the roof and the room below.

Its form determines how daylight enters and how the rooflight relates to the façade and roof. Intura tailors the dimensions, pitch, glazing-bar layout and finish to each project.

Timber rooflights for flat roofs

Mono-pitch, dual-pitch or hipped?

Every design is configured for the individual project. The principal differences are the direction of the glazed planes, the connection to the façade and the architectural effect.

A popular choice for extensions

Mono-pitch

One sloping glazed plane, usually installed against an existing façade. Its minimalist form creates a calm appearance and maximises the visible glass area.

Clean, modern architecture
Maximum daylight
Simple connection to a façade
For extensions, kitchens and verandas

The symmetrical classic

Dual-pitch

Two sloping glazed planes meet at the ridge. Daylight enters from different directions throughout the day, producing an even distribution of light.

Timeless, recognisable form
Light from two directions
Ideal for kitchens and conservatories
Suits modern and traditional homes

Architectural bespoke solution

Hipped

The ends of a hipped rooflight also slope downwards. This creates a strong three-dimensional form with a carefully finished appearance from every side.

Large bespoke glazed area of a timber rooflight in a pitched roof

More than a standard roof window

A rooflight that follows the line of the pitched roof.

An Intura bespoke rooflight can be integrated seamlessly into a pitched roof. Its large sloping glazed area brings considerably more daylight indoors than a single standard roof window and can illuminate a kitchen, void, extension or other living space.

Dimensions, pitch and glazing-bar layout are matched to the roof, structure and architecture. Subject to technical feasibility, applications include tiled, thatched and other pitched roof constructions.

Glass, colour and summer comfort

Match insulation and solar control to the property.

A large glazed area requires a considered glass specification. Winter insulation is not the only factor: orientation, room use and the risk of summer overheating together determine the most comfortable solution.

HR++

Insulated safety glass

A solid basis for heated living spaces where good insulation and an attractive price are both important.

HR+++

Triple safety glass

For higher insulation ambitions and reduced heat loss through the large glazed area. Always check the complete project specification.

Summer comfort

Coating and electric blinds

A solar-control coating limits part of the solar heat gain. Electric blinds provide further control over direct sunlight.

Interior

White RAL 9010

A bright, calm finish that blends into white ceilings and modern interiors.

Interior

Black grey RAL 7021

A strong dark finish that accentuates the lines and glazing-bar layout.

Important

Request project-specific values

Glass build-up, dimensions, glazing-bar layout and profiles affect the performance of the complete rooflight.

Daylight where you need it

For kitchens, voids, extensions and conservatories.

Kitchen

Light above cooking and dining

Bring natural light above an island, dining table or dark central zone in the home.

Void

Daylight across several floors

Allow light to travel deep into the building and visually connect different levels.

Extension

Avoid a dark room behind

A rooflight above the extension helps daylight reach the original part of the home.

Conservatory

A bright transition to outdoors

Combine views, daylight and the warmth of timber in a comfortable living space.

From idea to timber rooflight

Made to measure in four clear steps.

No two roofs are identical. Form, dimensions, glazing-bar layout, glass and finish are therefore determined and technically checked for each project.

01 · brief

Understand the roof and space

We review the roof type, approximate dimensions, structure, desired daylight and architectural appearance.

02 · design

Form and glazing-bar layout

Dimensions, roof pitch and glass layout are coordinated with the property and the space below.

03 · specification

Colour, glass and solar control

Select the frame colour, HR++ or HR+++ glass, solar-control coating and optional electric blinds.

04 · production

Technical development

Following approval, the rooflight is developed for the project and manufactured to measure in the Netherlands.

Preparation and installation

A bespoke rooflight is not a DIY product.

The rooflight, supporting structure, kerb, roof covering, insulation and internal finish form a single construction detail. Preparation and installation should therefore be carried out by suitably qualified professionals.

For large elements, transport, access, lifting method, temporary support and installation sequence must be established in advance. On a pitched roof, weatherproofing and integration with tiles, thatch or other roofing require particular attention.

Intura can provide product information and bespoke data. The responsible design and installation parties remain responsible for the structure, roof connection and safe installation.

Technical knowledge

Practical guidance on timber rooflights

Use this information during the initial design stage. Final dimensions, glass build-up and connection details are developed and confirmed for each project.

What is the difference between mono-pitch, dual-pitch and hipped rooflights?

A mono-pitch rooflight has one sloping glazed plane and often connects to a façade. A dual-pitch rooflight has two symmetrical glazed planes meeting at a ridge. A hipped rooflight also has sloping glazed end sections.

The best choice depends on position, daylight distribution, structure and architecture.

Can a timber rooflight be installed in a pitched roof?

Yes. A bespoke rooflight can be integrated into many tiled, thatched and other pitched roof constructions. Feasibility depends on pitch, supporting structure, dimensions and roof covering.

Weatherproofing and support must be designed as part of the complete roof detail.

Can I choose the glazing-bar layout?

The layout can be tailored to the architecture. Choose large, calm glazed areas or a rhythmic arrangement with several panes.

The final layout is technically checked against glass sizes, spans, weight and load-bearing capacity.

Which colours are available?

The low-maintenance hardwood frame is available in white RAL 9010 and black grey RAL 7021. White creates a bright, calm interior; black grey emphasises the lines.

Always check in the quotation which sides and components receive the selected finish.

Should I choose HR++ or HR+++ glass?

HR++ safety glass provides good insulation and is a suitable basis for many standard refurbishment projects. HR+++ safety glass further reduces heat loss through the glass and suits higher insulation ambitions.

Do not consider the glass alone. Frame, edge seal, glazing-bar layout, connection details and overall dimensions also affect the performance of the complete rooflight.

How can overheating beneath a rooflight be reduced?

Orientation, glazed area and room use determine how much solar heat enters. A solar-control coating can limit part of that heat, while electric blinds provide additional control over direct sunlight.

Solar shading, ventilation and construction measures should be assessed together as one comfort strategy.

How do I determine the correct dimensions?

Start with the required daylight zone and available supporting structure. Then distinguish between the structural opening, daylight opening, product size and external dimensions.

For large rooflights, glazing-bar layout, glass weight, spans, transport and lifting also influence the design. Always have the final dimensions confirmed on a drawing.

Is a timber rooflight maintenance-free?

Hardwood is durable and low-maintenance, but not maintenance-free. Periodically inspect the painted finish, sealants, connections, drainage and glazing.

Maintenance frequency depends on location, colour, solar exposure, moisture and exposure to the weather.

What are common mistakes with bespoke rooflights?

Confusing the structural opening with the external dimensions.
Assessing the structure and glass weight too late.
Choosing glazing-bar positions solely for appearance.
Underestimating solar exposure and summer comfort.
Failing to coordinate drainage and roof covering details.
Considering transport and lifting only after production.
Failing to prepare electrical supplies for blinds in time.

A complete enquiry with plan, section, roof build-up and photographs prevents most problems.
