Here are some of the popular choices of our customers.
Our hardwood roof lantern products are designed to be used all year round. No matter what the season, they are designed to remain at a comfortable temperature and when installed correctly can achieve current building regulation requirements.
Choosing solar protected glass will also keep the room cooler in warm weather.
Every day, roof lanterns are open to the elements, facing rainwater, bird droppings and vehicle pollution. For these reasons it is especially important to keep your roof lanterns in the best condition possible.
We advise cleaning them at least once every 2-3 months and whilst doing this, you should check the appearance of the pane to look out for any chips or cracks in the glass. This should definitely be done if you think that there could be a leak from the window as once a small chip has occurred this can affect the structural integrity of the glass pane.
To clean the exterior of the glass, you may need a specialist roof ladder to access the window in a safe way. We recommend calling a professional for this. If you neglect caring for your roof lantern, issues can arise such as damp patches on the surrounding walls and ceilings, peeling wallpaper and even structural damage.
Cleaning the interior of the roof lantern can be just as important as if it is not clean, it can reduce the aesthetic impact it can have. A good way of doing this is moving any furniture that sits underneath it and using a reliable step ladder and a duster to reach into the corners of the lantern and remove any cobwebs.
