If you love your house and neighbourhood but need a change, renovating may be a good option for you. And adding skylights is a fantastic way to give your house a new, fresh feel. Skylights can add beauty and wonder to a room that may have previously been dull and lifeless. Skylights are an affordable and eco-conscious solution that provides more light than windows.  Here’s why we think adding a skylight to your home is a great part of any renovation:

1.  Skylights add more light. Adding a skylight to the roof an older home can give it a brighter and more welcoming feel.  With a skylight, you can add more light in the home without compromising your privacy.  Not only will a skylight allow you to enjoy more sunlight, you can also enjoy moonlight in the evenings. If you are renovating to sell your home, the addition of a skylight will make it more attractive to a buyer, not only in terms of appearance but in terms of energy efficiency.
2. A Skylight, sky window or velux can be an attractive feature.  A skylight can also be an attractive feature of your home.  Sky windows are also known as velux can be really beautiful, allowing you to see the sky from many angles during the day and night! A velux can be fixed or openable for ventilation and powered openable by remote.
3. A skylight will make a room feel bigger. Skylights can make a room or house feel bigger and more open.   This is really beneficial if you are renovating and your house is small and pokey!
4. Skylights make your home more energy efficient. Adding a skylight to your home is a functional and economical way to avoid using electric lighting during the day!  Adding a skylight will allow you to use natural light without increasing energy or heating costs.  And with rising electricity costs around Australia, this is a welcome relief for many people.
5. There are health benefits. A skylight will allow more natural light into your home. Not only is a well-lit house more attractive than a dark house, natural light has other benefits on people health and moods. Many people don’t realise that the light emitted from artificial sources can have negative effects on your health. Natural light from the sun, however, can improve your health and well being by releasing serotonin and boosting energy levels.

Renovating a home can stressful and time-consuming.  There are so many choices to make which can all become pretty overwhelming.  And the cost of renovating always seem to end up being more than what was predicted.  Let RJ Group in Maddington take the stress out of your home renovation by adding a beautiful skylight or sky window.  As a family run business, we have been helping people in WA for over 40 years.  We take great pride in only selling high-quality products that meet Australian standards.  Contact us today to find out more on ph 08 9256 2222

Most of us know that being exposed to natural light is good for our health and it has been shown that daily exposure to natural light can enhance mental and physical well-being, boost concentration and energy levels.

Tubular Daylighting Devices (TDDs) are also referred to as Tubular Skylights and they are an effective way to bring natural light into the home or any where there are dark spaces indoors.

TDD’s are “high technology” skylights which use various technologies to increase the capture of natural light at the roof level, have a specular reflective tubing to direct most of the daylight they capture to the ceiling level and then offer a selection of diffusers to maximise the intensity of the light and improve the visual presentation of the natural light.

TDDs ( sometimes called “tubular skylights,” “light tubes,” “sun pipes,” and even “light tunnels,”tend to have much smaller cross-sectional areas than conventional skylights because of their efficiency at capturing and transferring light.

Advantages of a TDD over a conventional skylight include:

Being able to offset the roof top structure from the ceiling so that the light can be “bent”.
Better colour rendition than aluminium light shafts.
Lower heat loss and heat gain.
Product and installation costs for a TDD are considerably less than other daylighting options, such as windows and skylights.
Installation is fast, clean and easy because there is no need for structural reframing, tunneling, drywalling or painting.
DIY in one day.
Compact and flexible design means they will fit almost anywhere.
Environmentally friendly reducing power costs.

RJ Options For Bringing More Natural Light Indoors

RJ Skylights carries three brands of Tubular Daylighting Devices, each with different looks and technology.

Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be able to advise you on the various types of devices suited to your specific needs for adding natural light to your home or workplace. For more information on the various natural daylighting systems we have available , please contact on:

For those of us who prefer not to use air conditioners, roof vents are a much more affordable option for keeping cool in the warmer months.

With the installation of roof vents in your home, you are able to provide an environmentally friendly source of air cooling systems without the significant increase of energy costs incurred by an air conditioner.

Roof vents really are a smart and effective option to provide ventilation to your home, kid’s cubby house, shed or beach shack.

So simple to install and cost effective roof ventilators or whirly birds as they are often called, are designed to remove hot air from a building through the roof and also to keep damp prone attic areas dry.

RJ Roof Vents Suited To Australian Homes

RJ Ventilation carry a range of ventilator system options for Australian homes.

Ventilators are an ideal and economical way for reducing the hot air in a building as well as helping to minimize dampness inside the roof.

Mould in homes is now well recognised for the health hazard it is. It is extremely important for the health and well being of yourself and your family, to live in a mould free environment, and therefore all measures need to be taken to prevent the build up of mould in your home and workplace.

A ventilator system will assist you to remove a build up of hot air during summer, while in winter, ventilators will aid in reducing the impact of condensation in your roof space.

Roof Ventilation Options

• Static Roof Ventilation – often called to as roof valves which sit on the roof and rely on a pressure differential between outside and inside for air to move out of the roof area.
• Wind-driven Roof Ventilation – wind driven ventilators commonly known as whirly birds are very popular and can be seen on the majority of homes in Western Australia, they need wind to spin the head of the vent so as to draw out the hot air of the attic space under the roof.
• Powered Roof Vents – powered roof ventilators usually have a thermostat and will self start once the temperature in the roof space reaches a pre-determined level, continuing to pump air out until the thermostat goes below the temperature of the set level.
• Solar Powered Roof Vents – powered by the sun with a thermostat that triggers its operation.

Western Australia has a diverse range of climates, therefore it makes sense to use these simple but effective air ventilator units.

Most of us tend to think of skylights as an excellent way to bring natural light into a dark room without turning on a light switch, and that is exactly what their main purpose is, however they are also great for other dark areas as well.

Areas that benefit from a skylight include;

• Linen cupboards
• Pantries
• Cubby houses
• Garden sheds
• Garages
• Attics

All these areas can be lit naturally with a skylight and for an extra benefit, there are ventilation skylights available.

For those of us who are conscious about saving energy costs and being environmentally friendly a skylight which has a built in ventilator is a smart choice.

Add natural light to any room in your home, including the attic.

Attic conversions are becoming very popular at the moment, so if you’re considering converting your attic into a bedroom, skylights and roof windows are the perfect way to add light and fresh air into that space.

Where there is a sloped roof, roof windows are an ideal choice for both practical and aesthetics reasons.

Just imagine lying in bed and looking up at the sky through your beautiful Velux roof window skylights! Simply stunning!

Skylights & Tubular Daylighting Devices

Tubular Daylighting Devices (TDDs) are also referred to as Tubular Skylights.

These high tech skylights capture daylight at the roof level and have a specular reflective tubing to direct most of the light they capture to the ceiling level and then offer a selection of diffusers to maximise the intensity of the light and improve the visual presentation of the light.

TDDs have an advantage of being able to offset the roof top structure from the ceiling so that the light can be “bent”.

As TDDs are small diameter, they tend to have lower heat loss and heat gain compared to a conventional skylight.

RJ Skylights carries three brands of Tubular Daylighting Devices, each with different looks and technology.

Most of us are aware of the extra storage space that exists between our roof space and the ceiling of our homes, and how easy it has been to access this area via the installation of sturdy attic ladders.
It makes sense that the area could also be used as an extra living area away from the rest of the home, an excellent example is a teenager’s retreat.
An attic conversion is a great idea and when done properly it adds value to your property.
Almost every house has roof area that can be used as an extra storage or even living area, but it needs to be carried out correctly to avoid creating damage to the existing structures.
Before getting too excited at the prospect of re-locating the teenagers, get advice from a registered builder, carpenter, building designer or architect who has experience in attic conversions.
They will be able to tell you what options you have with your available roof space.
Whether or not you choose to convert your attic into extra living room in your home, If you’re going to be using your roof space regularly then installing ventilated skylights is an excellent idea. Ventilated skylights open to let in fresh air as well as natural daylight.
If your roof space has easy access via a manhole hole you will understand that you will need a sturdy attic ladder to gain access to the attic space on a regular basis.
Attic ladders that sit flush with the ceiling when closed are ideal in this scenario, the installation of an attic ladder will help you to access the attic area in a safe and convenient manner.
