Skylights vs Roof Windows – Knowing the Difference
A skylight is typically suited to unoccupied or infrequently used spaces, such as storage lofts, garages, and workshops, where extra daylight and ventilation are welcome but high insulation isn’t critical. Roof windows are better for living spaces, and offer better thermal performance and compliance with building regulations.

Where to Use Dakea Skylights
Perfect for spaces where daylight is needed but maximum insulation isn’t essential such as lofts, workshops, garages, and garden rooms.
If your project requires higher insulation or is for a main living area, you might also consider our velux and fakro ranges.
Installation Tips
- Measure accurately to match the skylight size to your opening
- Ensure the roof pitch meets the manufacturer’s specifications
- Use the correct flashing kit for your roofing material
- Always seal and insulate around the frame to prevent draughts
- For higher or awkward placements, it's best to consider professional installation
