Awakening the beauty of natural light

With a growing demand for superior energy efficient solutions that provide stylish and stunning design, the rooflight industry continues to evolve to provide a way for businesses and homeowners to achieve this balance. Daylight is a vital part of our existence, with our brains conditioned to respond to natural light. Incorporating rooflights into your design ensures a more environmentally friendly way to heighten mental wellbeing by drawing natural light and creating a spectacular enhancement.

The Rooflight Company, a leading rooflight manufacturer renowned for its heritage and contemporary designs, is mainly known for its ground-breaking Conservation Rooflight. However, with continuous innovation at its core, there is a new addition to the range providing a contemporary alternative and offering the best option in the market for energy efficiency. The neo Advance is a new double-glazed flat rooflight that achieves the lowest possible U-value thanks to its extruded aluminium frame and innovative Thermal Shield technology.

Why do we need daylight?

Exposure to daylight helps us to maintain good general health and helps us to feel energised and productive. Artificially lit rooms are a feature of modern life but new energy-efficient designs can now incorporate contemporary, traditional or bespoke rooflights to create a gateway for natural light into previously unreachable corners. There are multiple ways to integrate roof window design into your property as a striking part of the design or a seamless way to enhance the beauty and angles of natural light.

Introducing the neo Advance

The neo Advance range of rooflights by The Rooflight Company responds to customer demand and the environmental need to reduce energy consumption while maintaining the contemporary look that adds value and beauty to any design project, awakening the beauty of natural light. The ability to specify a product that brings in more daylight than a standard window, reduce heat loss and remain visually stunning, inside and out, is the perfect solution for any new design requiring the benefits and beauty of natural light.

Now, neo Advance’s aluminium frame combined with the company’s patented Thermal Shield technology improves thermal efficiency and protects against mould and condensation, allowing for a whole-window U-value as low as 1.06 W/m2k in a double glazed unit, meaning the unit is significantly lighter than its triple-glazed counterpart, while also delivering market-leading thermal efficiency for the window frame. Its

aluminium frame also makes it ideal for properties on the coast where the sea air can accelerate the corrosion of steel window systems.

It remains free from unsightly fixings, ensuring clean lines and contemporary aesthetics and no distraction from the view it presents. The flat opening rooflight has a concealed motor within the framework, with an option to operate via a switch or through remote control technology.

There is a range of six standard sizes, up to 2m by 1m, for the motorised opening and seven sizes, up to 3m by 1m, for the fixed option and you can be confident in the knowledge that the neo Advance is suitable for any location of your project. It is designed and manufactured in the UK by a skilled team of craftsmen in the glorious Cotswolds. Steve Webber, Managing Director at The Rooflight Company, says, “neo Advance represents a significant step forward in The Rooflight Company’s journey.

“neo Advance really is a beautiful rooflight that offers an unparalleled view of the sky, providing a perfect and energy-efficient way to increase daylight. It’s a testament to the skill and creativity of our innovation and manufacturing teams.”
