Frequently Asked Questions
Are skylights energy efficient?
Yes, skylights can improve energy efficiency by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. Many modern skylights include double glazing, UV coatings and insulated frames to minimise heat transfer and glare. Choosing the right placement and size helps you maximise natural light while reducing heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.
Do whirlybirds actually work?
Whirlybirds, also known as roof ventilators, work by allowing hot air to escape from the roof cavity, which helps keep your home cooler in warmer months. They operate using wind and thermal currents, requiring no electricity. While they’re not a complete substitute for air conditioning, they improve airflow, reduce roof temperature and help prevent condensation or mould build-up in roof spaces.
Can skylights be installed in any type of roof?
Most roof types can accommodate skylights, including tiled, metal and flat roofs. However, the installation method will vary depending on your roof’s pitch and structure. A professional roofer will assess the best location to avoid structural elements and ensure proper flashing and sealing. In some cases, roof supports may need to be adjusted or reinforced.
How long do skylights and whirlybirds last?
Well-installed skylights and whirlybirds can last 15–25 years or more, depending on the product quality and weather exposure. Over time, seals, domes or flashing may deteriorate and require maintenance or replacement. Choosing high-grade materials and having them professionally installed will help extend their lifespan and prevent future issues like leaks or corrosion.
