How can I tell which Remis Rooflight I need?

Remis Rooflights are simple, yet elegant and are a brilliant answer to interior lighting issues in your caravan. Many of our customers are venturing out in their caravans during winter, mainly due to the fantastic superior water heating and heating systems that are now available (Caravan Heaters and Caravan Water Heaters). Therefore making the most of the natural light, especially with the grey skies and early evening darkness, during these darker months is becoming more and more essential in the industry. So one of the solutions we advise when our customers enquire about rooflights that let in maximum light, whilst also allowing excellent ventilation is to check out the Remis Rooflights we have for sale, Remis Rooflights and Remis Spare Parts. Remis caravan rooflights are not just a winter light remedy but in the summer months Remis caravan rooflights can totally upgrade the feel of a caravan, making it feel more airy, light, spacious and much more agreeable!

However one of the many customer questions we receive is ‘How can I tell which Remis Rooflight I have?’ Even the best quality and most robust items break due to adverse weather conditions, accidents or just general wear and tear. Customers want to replace parts but do not know which type of Remis Roof vent they have installed in their caravan. Or they feel it is time to completely replace their existing rooflight. Just a point worth mentioning........ we have many customers asking after Remi, Remmi or Remise rooflights, so make sure you have the spelling correct when searching online. The following should help you to identify which Remis Rooflight you need if you find yourself in this position.

In hot humid weather caravans or motorhomes can become very stuffy, but a Remis caravan roof light will make unbearable heat levels a thing of the past for you and your mobile home a pleasure to stay in. Many caravans mostly have sealed windows so it is very difficult to get a breeze blowing through. However if you have the Remis rooflights like the Remis RemitopTilt just open it up and a cool breeze will blow through.

Another important factor worth mentioning with the Remis caravan roof lights is that they are manufactured with aluminium, which is a material that doesn’t get affected by heat. Therefore there is a lot less chance they will jam in hot weather. They also offer a high degree of protection from insects, whether you are in the UK or abroad where insects are more prevalent.

The outstanding manufacture quality of these Remis caravan rooflights definitely makes them a very suitable choice for all caravan or motorhome owners who are determined to travel regularly. So look in detail at all the Remis caravan rooflights here on Leisureshopdirect and if you can find a cheaper deal elsewhere we will almost certainly be able to match it or better!
