joidevie Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hi..Does anyone have any clever solutions for stealing a bit of light into a potential bathroom that will have a small flat roof (terrace) above it but no windows in the walls? Is there anything that can be put in during the construction stage? Also, the best option for an air outflow?Many thanks if anyone has any ideas..

idun Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Well there are plenty of light tunnels (puits/conduit de lumiere) for sale. Whether you would need permission to put the hublot on your roof, I don't know, I would ask at the Mairie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 For ventilation a VMC is pretty much obligatory - windows or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1steveuk Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 What it the terrace floor, bathroom ceiling made of? If it's concrete, you could use spaced glass blocks, In a similar vane, I have an area under a terrace (concrete) that is dark, but as it was there when we moved I cant use glass blocks. As it's only storage I use a solar light kit, solar panels outside (less than 4 sq inches each, and the wires extended to the lamps inside.

BIG MAC Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 How about putting a dummy parapet wall in with the sun tubes running through the middle so that a) They are up and out of the way b) The walls below get 'light washed' and as round the periphery least likely to be in the shade of the building above?
