Ridge rooflight

Ridge rooflights run daylight along the apex of a pitched roof, which suits barn conversions and contemporary houses where the plan wants a bright central spine. Each plane behaves like a sloped rooflight, so snow load, driving rain and ridge ventilation all feed into the structural mullion and capping design.

We develop the detail with the roofing contractor so tiles or slates meet the aluminium undercloak without cutting back structural battens too far. Inner leaves remain laminated for overhead safety, while coatings can differ slightly per slope if one face catches more direct sun than the other.
