How long does it take to install a SupaLite roof extension?
The time it takes to install a SupaLite roof can vary according to size, complexity of design and optional features. However, generally it only takes a few days or less. The ILite Flat Roof can be built in a matter of hours, ready for waterproofing and installation of the glass lantern. Contact a SupaLite registered installer directly for a more precise time frame.
What are the benefits of a flat roof extension?
The ILite is a very modern, stylish roof extension. It looks great on any contemporary home, but also makes an appealing contrast to an old building. The glass lantern maximises natural light and creates an open feel to the room. It is quick and easy to install, and can be fitted within a matter of hours ready for waterproofing.
What are the benefits of a pitched roof extension?
A pitched roof extension, like the SupaLite Roof, blends into your existing home. It can be finished with ExtraLight tile or slate, available in a range of colours. Homeowners can also add SkyVista glass panels to increase natural light.
Should I choose a pitched roof extension or a flat roof extension?
That’s really up to you! A pitched roof extension has a more traditional look and will blend into your existing home. You can also add in SkyVista glass panels for more natural light. The ILite, on the other hand, looks much more modern. The central glass lantern floods the rooms with natural light and creates a bright, airy feel. However, a flat roof must be waterproofed because water cannot flow off.
Do I need planning permission for my roof extension?
If your extension falls within your ‘permitted rights’ then you don’t have to apply for planning permission. Single storey extensions generally do not need planning permission, as long as they don’t extend any more than 4 metres from a detached property or 3 metres from any other property. They also cannot exceed 4 metres in height. Find out more about planning permission.
