Tweed Coast Skylights
There’s nothing quite like natural light to brighten up a room and make a space feel more open and inviting. If you’re tired of dark hallways, shadowy corners, or relying on lights during the day, installing skylights might be the perfect solution. At Cudgen Roofing & Guttering, we help homeowners across the Tweed Coast bring the sunshine in—without compromising on comfort or energy efficiency. Skylights not only improve the look and feel of your home, but they can also help cut down on electricity costs by reducing the need for artificial lighting. We install a range of modern, leak-resistant skylights designed to suit different roof types and interior layouts, with options for ventilation and UV protection if needed.
Whether you're renovating, building, or just looking to make your space feel lighter and more liveable, we’ll guide you through the options. Call us on 0402 540 929 to chat about skylights for your home.
Smart Skylights, Seamless Installs
Choosing the right skylight is about more than just letting light in—it’s about improving your living environment in a way that works with your roof, your room layout, and your local climate. We offer fixed, opening and ventilated skylight options, all installed with careful attention to sealing, flashing, and placement to avoid leaks and maximise natural light. If your home has low ceilings or limited wall space for windows, a skylight is an easy way to transform a dark or narrow area into something brighter and more welcoming. Plus, modern skylight designs now come with built-in insulation and shading features, so you don’t have to worry about heat loss or glare.
Looking to brighten your space and add value to your home? Let’s find the right skylight for your needs—call 0402 540 929 today.
Do skylights make a room hotter?
Traditional skylights could increase indoor temperatures, especially in summer, but modern skylight designs now include low-E glass, double glazing, and UV-reflective coatings to reduce heat transfer. These features help block solar radiation while still letting in plenty of natural light. Ventilated skylights can also improve airflow, helping warm air escape and reducing heat buildup in roof cavities or top-floor rooms. Choosing the right size, placement, and glazing option is key to balancing light with thermal comfort.
Can skylights be installed on metal roofs?
Yes, skylights can be installed on metal roofs—including Colorbond and other steel roofing profiles. The process requires cutting a custom opening and using flashings designed specifically for metal roofing to ensure a watertight seal. It's important to use experienced installers who understand how to work with metal sheeting, as incorrect installation can lead to leaks or damage. When done correctly, skylights on metal roofs are just as secure and weather-resistant as those on tile roofs.
Are skylights energy-efficient?
Modern skylights can be very energy-efficient, especially when fitted with insulated glass and built-in blinds or diffusers. They reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day and can help ventilate hot air from upper levels. Some models come with solar-powered opening mechanisms or sensors that adjust based on temperature or humidity. As with any upgrade, efficiency depends on correct sizing, orientation, and installation, so it’s worth getting expert advice to make the most of the benefits.
