Roof Lanterns & Skylights

While both bring natural light into your home, roof lanterns are typically larger, more architectural features that sit atop a flat or pitched roof. Their exact construction often includes a lantern-like structure with multiple glass options and panes. Skylights, on the other hand, are usually flatter and integrated directly into the roofline. Roof lanterns tend to make a bigger design statement, while skylights offer a more subtle solution for bringing light into a space.

When properly installed, our roof lanterns and skylights can improve your home's energy efficiency. They're designed with thermal efficiency in mind, using advanced glazing techniques to minimise heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. This can lead to reduced reliance on artificial heating/cooling systems, lowering your energy bills.

Installation time varies depending on the complexity of the project, but most standard installations can be completed within 1-3 days. Our expert team works efficiently to minimise disruption to your daily life. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation, taking into account factors like the size of the installation, your roof type, and any range of custom design elements.
