Roof Windows for Pitched Roofs

So what roof covering do you have? Profiled tiles, plain tiles, slates, stone, lead, zinc, copper, etc. Then these would be the material for a traditional pitched roof in the UK. Roof windows for these types of construction are normally flat glass and would almost certainly be fitted in-plane (in-line) with the roof materials. However low roof pitches may require roof windows to be out-of-plane (out of the line of the roof materials) so water cannot pond or enter at the head or the sides of the roof window. There are also occasions when larger bespoke glass or polycarbonate roof windows are used along the ridge line of the pitched roof. These would be out-of-plane by design too.
