A different view

All Stella Conservation rooflights are bespoke made, however this is how one of our typical rooflights might look.

​Of course, you can choose the exact size, colour, glazing type, internal liner material and whether you would like an opening or fixed shut rooflight. If opening, you can also decide whether you would like a mechanical winding or electronically actuated opening mechanism.

Stella Rooflight Perfect for Barn Conversions and Heritage Markets and satisfy the conservation officer

Sympathetic detailing

Sympathetic detailing is often required for period properties, listed buildings, or conservation areas.

Stella Rooflights offer a simple, minimal design that respect a building’s character.

Modern bulky frames look wrong, so genuine conservation rooflights, that are true to an original Victorian design are the best choice.

Stella conservation skylights have a low profile design

Low profile design

Stella rooflights are perfect for barn conversions, period properties, and heritage markets.

Our conservation rooflights are known for their low profile design, sitting flush and unobtrusive to the building’s original architecture.

Stella rooflights feature a slender appearance with a thin profile, meeting conservation requirements by minimising visible framework, especially when rooflights are placed next to each other.

Stella Rooflight customers can choose their shape, size, colour, and whether the window is opening or fixed

Genuine glazing bars

A genuine conservation rooflight features glazing mullions (glazing bars) that separate the glass into sections.

Stella rooflights follow traditional conservation rooflight designs with genuine glazing bars. These bars are integral to the rooflight, providing an authentic look and added strength to the opening section.

Many manufacturers claim to offer conservation roof windows but remove the traditional bar, sticking something to the double-glazed unit instead.

This not only risks damaging self-clean glazing or having it fall off after a few years but also significantly detracts from the original conservation rooflight appearance.

Stella Rooflights are designed, manufactured and assembled in the UK

British design and manufacturing

All Stella rooflights are designed, manufactured and assembled in the UK.

This approach ensures we maintain exceptional standards throughout the entire process.

We never compromise on performance. Stella conservation rooflights come triple glazed with self-clean glass and beautiful real wood linings.

Manufacturing in the UK offers greater quality control and development benefits. It also reduces the product's carbon footprint compared to other suppliers who import components from overseas.

FAQs
What is a conservation rooflight?
A conservation rooflight is a roof window designed to sit flush with the roofline, using slim profiles and traditional detailing to preserve the appearance of heritage and listed buildings. Stella Rooflight manufactures bespoke conservation rooflights in the UK, designed to meet planning and conservation requirements.
Why do conservation rooflights need to be flush fitting?
Conservation rooflights are designed to sit flush with the roofline to minimise their visual impact and maintain the original character of the building. A low-profile design is often a key requirement for planning approval in listed buildings and conservation areas.
What materials are best for conservation rooflights?
The most authentic conservation rooflights are typically made from steel, as it allows for slim sightlines and a traditional appearance. Stella Rooflight uses marine-grade 316L stainless steel, which offers superior durability and corrosion resistance compared to mild steel alternatives.
Why is 316L stainless steel better than mild steel?
316L stainless steel provides significantly greater resistance to rust and corrosion than mild steel, making it ideal for long-term performance, especially in exposed or coastal environments. This ensures conservation rooflights maintain both their appearance and structural integrity over time.
Are bespoke rooflights better for period properties?
Yes, bespoke rooflights are often essential for period properties, as standard sizes rarely align with existing rafters or planning requirements. Custom-made conservation rooflights allow for precise sizing, proportions and detailing that suit the building.
Do conservation rooflights help with planning approval?
Yes, specifying a true conservation rooflight can improve the likelihood of planning approval, as they are designed to meet the expectations of conservation officers. Features such as flush installation, slim profiles and traditional glazing bars are often required.
What are glazing bars and why do they matter?
Glazing bars are structural elements that divide the glass into sections, replicating traditional rooflight designs. Genuine glazing bars are important for authenticity and are often required in conservation projects, whereas applied or “fake” bars may not meet planning expectations.
Can conservation rooflights be opening as well as fixed?
Yes, conservation rooflights can be designed as either fixed or opening units. Opening rooflights may be manually operated or electrically actuated, depending on size and project requirements.
Are conservation rooflights energy efficient?
Modern conservation rooflights can achieve strong thermal performance using high-specification glazing while maintaining a traditional appearance. Double glazing is commonly used to meet building regulations without compromising the slim profile.
What should architects consider when specifying conservation rooflights?
Architects should consider material, profile, glazing specification, size, and installation requirements when specifying conservation rooflights. It is also important to ensure compliance with building regulations and to consider how the rooflight will be installed and integrated into the structure.
