Why Choose A Roof Lantern For Your Home?
Maximum natural light. With glazing on all sides and the roof, a lantern draws far more daylight into a room than a standard window or roof light, making even a north facing room feel bright and open.
A striking, contemporary look. The multi faceted design of a roof lantern adds genuine architectural interest to a flat roof extension, kitchen or living space, both from inside the room and from the outside of the property.
Suits almost any flat roof. Roof lanterns are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, so whether you’re topping a small single storey extension or a large open plan kitchen diner, there’s a configuration to fit.
Energy efficient by design. Our roof lanterns are glazed with high performance units that help to reduce heat loss in winter and unwanted glare and overheating in summer, so the room stays comfortable all year round.
Built to last. Every roof lantern is covered by a ten year insurance backed warranty, and our Certass registration means your installation meets current building regulations without you needing to involve your Local Authority.
Standard And Bespoke Roof Lanterns
Every roof and every room is different, which is why we offer both standard roof lantern sizes for a straightforward, cost effective solution, and fully bespoke designs where you need a specific shape, size or configuration. Our team will visit your property, assess your roof and talk through the options with you, so whatever we install is designed around your home rather than a one size fits all template.
Rectangular And Square Lanterns
The most popular choice for extensions and kitchen diners, rectangular and square roof lanterns make the most of a flat roof space and suit almost any style of home.
Bespoke Shapes
Where a room calls for something different, we can design roof lanterns in a range of alternative shapes and configurations, giving you a genuinely individual finish that’s built around your space rather than a standard template.
Roof Lanterns Fitted Across Essex
We design and install roof lanterns throughout Great Dunmow, Braintree, Chelmsford, Thaxted, Saffron Walden and the surrounding villages, for both residential and commercial projects. As a local, independent installer, we visit every property in person before quoting, so the design and price you receive reflects your roof and your home, not a generic estimate.
