Natural lighting in passive houses
In the construction of passive houses, various solutions related to windows are used to minimize heat loss and ensure optimal interior lighting.
- Energy-efficient windows: these are windows that have special thermal insulation and thermal coatings on the glass, which provides better insulation and reduces heat loss.
- Triple-glazed windows: these are windows that have three panes, which allows for even better thermal insulation.
- Tilt and slide windows: these are windows that allow sunlight to enter, but also provide good ventilation of the room.
Skylight: these are windows that are placed in the roof, which allows much more natural light to enter the interior, which is very important in passive houses.
Windows in the roof are a great solution for passive houses, because they allow much more natural light to enter the interior, and also improve ventilation in rooms. In addition, roof windows are also aesthetic and elegant, which further affects the appearance of the entire building.

Natural light in the kitchen and bathroom
Using a polycarbonate roof window to illuminate the kitchen and bathroom in a single-family house is a great solution. Thanks to this solution, you can introduce much more natural light into these rooms, which has a positive effect on the aesthetics and functionality of these spaces.
In the kitchen, natural light allows for better planning of work, and also facilitates the preparation of meals, as it allows for more accurate recognition of the color, taste and texture of products. In the bathroom, on the other hand, natural lighting has a positive effect on the hygiene and aesthetics of the room, and also allows for thorough makeup or shaving.
Windows in the roof made of polycarbonate are a great solution, because thanks to this material they are very durable and resistant to damage. In addition, polycarbonate is a material resistant to weather conditions and changing temperatures, which is important in the case of roof windows. These windows allow much more light to enter the interior than traditional roof windows, which will certainly have a positive effect on the aesthetics of the rooms.
Natural light also has a positive effect on the appearance of furniture and equipment in the kitchen and bathroom. For example, sintered quartz worktops in the kitchen look much better when they are lit with natural light. Similarly, bathroom sinks look much more aesthetically pleasing when they are well lit.
To sum up, the use of windows in the roof made of polycarbonate to illuminate the kitchen and bathroom in a single-family house is a very good solution. Natural lighting has a positive effect on the aesthetics and functionality of these spaces, as well as on the appearance of furniture and equipment in these rooms.
