Country Hardwoods’ roof lanterns – a stunning addition to your home
We offer fully bespoke roof lanterns, kits, DIY roof lanterns. Country Hardwood can also design a roof lantern around your own specifications.

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!

Timber Roof Lanterns: The Perfect Way to Complete an Orangery
Timber roof lanterns are the perfect addition to orangeries and flat roof extensions. Designed to bring more natural light into a home extension, they also help to improve the internal living environment by creating a sense of more space due to the extra height in the room.
At Country Hardwood, we can design and install bespoke timber roof lanterns to meet your exact specifications. We can incorporate openable window sections to improve ventilation and you can choose from an extensive range of colours to complement your home’s style.
