What is a pyramid rooflight?

A pyramid rooflight is a glazed rooflight with four sloping sides that meet at a central apex, creating its distinctive pyramid shape. Designed for flat roofs, pyramid rooflights bring natural light into a space while creating a striking architectural feature.

Typically manufactured with aluminium frames and high-performance glazing, they are suitable for both residential and commercial applications and are available in a range of sizes and finishes.

Where do pyramid rooflights work best?

Pyramid rooflights are well suited to flat roof areas where both daylight and visual impact are important. They are commonly installed over kitchen extensions, open-plan living spaces, entrance halls, stairwells and commercial atriums.

Because the glazing is angled on all four sides, light can enter from multiple directions throughout the day. This makes pyramid rooflights particularly effective in larger spaces where a standard flat rooflight may not achieve the same effect.

Can pyramid rooflights be opened?

Most pyramid rooflights are fixed and designed primarily to maximise daylight. However, some models are available with opening vents to provide natural ventilation.

Opening options may be manually operated or electrically controlled, depending on the size and specification of the rooflight. If ventilation is a requirement, it is best to consider this early in the design process to ensure the most suitable solution is specified.

What sizes do pyramid rooflights come in?

Pyramid rooflights are available in a range of standard and bespoke sizes to suit different applications. Smaller units are often chosen for residential extensions, while larger rooflights can be used in commercial buildings, atriums and other large open spaces.

The maximum size available will depend on factors such as the glazing specification, structural requirements and overall roof design. If you require a specific size, bespoke options are often available.

Do pyramid rooflights need a special upstand?

Yes. Pyramid rooflights are typically installed onto an upstand, which raises the rooflight above the roof surface and helps ensure effective weatherproofing and drainage.

Some systems are supplied with a purpose-made upstand, while others can be installed onto a builder's upstand that meets the manufacturer's requirements. Installation requirements vary between products, so it is always important to follow the manufacturer's guidance.
