Roof lanterns are a much more efficient way of allowing natural light to enter your home than traditional windows. They offer huge benefits in large rooms, atriums and orangeries, bringing daylight into the centre of otherwise dimly lit spaces. Roof lanterns are very versatile and can often be fitted throughout the interior of single storey houses and extensions and on top floors, making your home light and airy and really welcoming!
Technical Specifications
We have broken down the specification into each of the stages of manufacture:
- The Finials1 and crestings2 are manufactured in Aluminium.

- As standard the glass provided is a soft coated doubled glazed 4-16-4 toughened glass providing a U-value of 1.6. In addition to this we can provide a range of glass types from ‘Solar Control’ to glazed units containing special gases. Contact us for further details.
