Flat rooflights are ideal for letting natural light flow into the room below. This style of rooflight is designed to be placed on a roof with a pitch of up to 5 degrees, aiding water runoff. Most of our products in the flat roof category are also suitable for pitched roofs up to 70 degrees. Duplus flat-roof rooflights are available in a wide range of styles and sizes to suit most requirements, including non-opening, hinged and sliding options.
From standard fixed rooflights to walk-on rooflights, sliding rooflights with access to Secured-By-Design options, there is a range of features and designs for almost any requirement for your home. Furthermore, Duplus Rooflights are manufactured to the highest quality in our UK factory using silicone-bonding techniques, ensuring a complete seal from the elements and a contemporary finish without unsightly frames. This frameless aesthetic enhances the look of your home both from the inside and out. If you’re looking to get some fresh air into the room below, our opening rooflights are a great buy. If you’re looking for access, then check out our sliding and bi-parting rooflights, both with electric and manual options and ideally suited for flat roofs. We also provide walk-on rooflights, where you may be looking to provide light for a basement below or a walkable area on the flat roof itself.
Can you put a skylight on a completely flat roof?
No and rarely is a roof completely flat! Your builder can simply adjust the upstand to increase the slope by 5 degrees to ensure your skylight has suitable water run-off. Many skylights/rooflights are designed for flat roofs. Sliding rooflights and roof lanterns can only be positioned up to a maximum pitch of 5 degrees. Adding a rooflight to a flat roof can bring in a substantial amount of natural light and open up the space in the room below. Duplus rooflights are always provided fully-assembled and ready to be installed on a builder’s kerb. No flashing kit is required.
Do I need a flashing kit for a flat roof light?
No, you do not need a flashing kit with Duplus rooflights. Our flat rooflights are designed to be installed directly onto the builder’s kerb. This ensures a structural fit, weathertight seal and no additional fitting kit. Furthermore, Duplus rooflights come fully-assembled and ready to be fitted on delivery.

We also provide large roof lanterns up to 2m x 5.8m in single panes of toughened, heatsoaked glass.
Does the water drain off a flat rooflight?
Yes, water does drain off a flat rooflight as most roofs have up to a 5-degree pitch to aid water run-off. If your roof is completely flat, it is possible to build an upstand incorporating a 5-degree angle. This will be sufficient for allowing water to run off the rooflight as opposed to gathering on the roof.
