Whether building a home extension or converting a loft, 99% of homeowners will have a budget.

 

This budget allows us to create a spending plan for our money and reigns

 

us in from splashing out on unnecessary changes.

Despite it being us who sets the budget, it can be hard staying within in it- especially with the variables involved in home extensions

 

where pinning down all the costs can be difficult.

While there are several well known tips to keeping down expenditure, such as

 

getting involved in

 

DIY and project managing yourself, money can also be saved through

 

sensible daylight

 

choices.

In the case of loft conversions, roof windows are a must have. Roof windows

 

can transform an old dingy attic into a light, airy and healthy room with beautiful views of the exterior.

Opening up your roof does not have to cost through the roof.

 

There are plenty of cheap roof windows available on the market which perform identically to the leading brands, while some of the best known manufacturers

 

also have cheap windows among their range.

A Cheap Roof Window Does Not Mean A Poorer Roof Window

Take RoofLITE for example, sister brand to market leader VELUX. Despite using

 

FSC certified pine on its all its roof windows, along with

 

high level security and ventilation features, these are some of the cheapest roof windows on the market- despite offering practically identical

 

light transmission as pricier models.

Rooflite pitched roof windows come in

 

a pine, white paint or PVC frame, with toughened safety glass to provide

 

breakage protection from flying objects, both inside and out. There is also a reassuring 10-year guarantee on all RoofLITE windows to protect your investment.

Then there is ECO+, one of the industry’s fastest growing pitched and flat roof window brands. ECO+ are currently

 

changing what is regarded as normal for a roof window to be by offering triple glazing as standard on its centre pivot windows to help houses stay warmer and cheaper to run.

The 0.9 W/m²K U-value on ECO+ roof windows is one of the lowest you’ll find anywhere, with low-E treatments on the glazing to ensure your loft stays warm and cosy in the summer and cool in summer.

For a pitched roof kitchen or

 

dining room extension, or

 

an en-suite bathroom in the loft,

 

the ECO+ PVC window is a low maintenance, easy to clean option that copes fantastically well in humid surroundings.

Offering perhaps the most practical and cost effective solution on the market is the ECO+ RESET. This is a fixed triple glazed

 

pitched roof window that comes with an integrated flashing that enables installation into virtually any roofing material and any pitch.

Finding roof windows that offer

 

quality thermal performance and look good while doing it, is not impossible. Cheap roof windows, such as those from RoofLITE and ECO+, are perfect options for all budgets, big and

 

small.

Cheap Roof Windows For Uninhabited Spaces

Maybe you have stumbled upon this blog in the search of a cheap roof window for an unhabitable space, such as an unused loft or garden shed.

If you have,

 

pitched roof windows unsuitable for living under will always be the cheapest on the market given their low U-values. Sterlingbuild's skylights,

 

strictly for unoccupied and unheated rooms, are available from FENSTRO at prices starting from

 

under £100.

Installing a skylight into a loft can bring much needed passive or full ventilation into the space, preventing condensation and improving the storing conditions for possesions.

FENSTRO skylights

 

are even kinder on wallets due to the fact

 

they come with an integrated flashing, an integral part of the installation that normally requires a

 

separate purchase.

ECO+ has two sizes of pitched roof windows that are perfect for smaller roofs, such as that of a garden shed. These smaller roof windows are

 

suitable for habitable areas too.

Roof Window Multibuy Offers

Why not make the most of the natural daylight by having three or four roof windows

 

positioned around

 

the roof

 

for

 

more even distribution of light if your budget allows?

We currently have a multibuy offer available on our RoofLITE roof windows when you buy three or more, brining the indiviudal cost of each window down to £95

 

each.

For combination installs, the ECO+ RESET flashing that comes as standard with the units is suitable to create any combo, either horizontally or vertically at no extra cost.

If you are looking cheap roof windows for a flat roof that have

 

outstanding spec and energy efficiency, ECO+ is once again the brand. The ECO 45x85cm rooflight is currently available for its cheapest price yet, while stocks last.

ECO+ flat rooflights are also part of the Sterlingbuild home extension bundle

 

offer, where you
