Roofline Lighting: How One Line Changes the Whole House|What Makes Roofline Lighting Look Right When It Is Done Properly|Thinking About Roofline Lighting? Start With the Roof Edge

Start at the top edge

From the street, a house is mostly a silhouette, and the roof edge draws that outline. It is the one line that runs the whole width of the house, and it has open sky behind it, which is why light on it reads from a distance. Light that line and the whole house resolves.That is the reason the roofline gets the hardware, and the reason a single run there does more than fixtures scattered around the yard. One continuous line, mounted once, doing the most visible job on the property: that is the argument.

What is up there

Roofline lighting is an aluminum channel matched to your trim holding individual LEDs, mounted along the edge and left in place year round. That channel is doing double duty, carrying the LEDs and keeping the daytime look clean. Because it matches the trim, you generally have to be told where it is.

Which lines get lit

Every plan begins at the main roofline, and works outward. Gables, peaks, porch roofs, posts and upper runs all get considered, though a good plan leaves some of them dark. Outline everything and you end up with a shape and no depth, which is the usual mistake.The run itself repays a close look once a crew is done, since holding a true line across a long elevation is not simple.

What it looks like with the lights off

A roofline system is on the house every day, lit or unlit. That is why the channel gets matched to your trim rather than sold in one color. Mount it tight to the edge, match the trim, and hide the wiring, and nothing about the daylight view changes.

What you do with it once it is up

After install control is an app. Plain white most nights, color when there https://privatebin.net/?20622a9422a4eba0#ADu1aXaiPZAjaK19HQ2bkoBjKUg1SnrjUvWybJLwi6VP is a reason, and a schedule that runs it without you. Most owners land on one white and leave it, using color for the handful of days that call for it.

What makes one roofline a bigger job than the house next door

Two houses on the same street can be very different jobs. Linear feet is the first one, but it is not the main one. Complexity does more: a simple gable runs fast, and a roof with six changes of direction, three dormers and a turret does not. Two stories is a different day than one.

Does it attach to the gutter?

The gutter comes up in almost every consultation. The channel fastens to the roof edge itself, not to a hanging piece of aluminum full of water half the year. That distinction matters because gutters move, sag and get replaced, and anything fastened to one inherits its problems.
