What are Lantern Roofs?

Lantern roofs, also known as roof lanterns or roof lights, are raised glazed structures that sit atop a conservatory or an extension. They act as huge windows that flood your interior with natural daylight. These architectural features typically consist of a series of glazed panels arranged in a pyramid or rectangular shape, supported by a frame that can be made of various materials such as aluminium or uPVC.

The Timeless Appeal of Lantern Roofs

The elegance of a lantern roof lies in its ability to transform an ordinary space into something extraordinary. Lantern roofs create an illusion of height and space, lending an air of grandeur to any room. Whether you want to add a touch of classical charm or contemporary design, lantern roofs offer great versatility.

The Benefits of Lantern Roofs

Natural Light

A key benefit of lantern roofs is their ability to bathe your interior in natural daylight. Unlike traditional windows or skylights, lantern roofs offer a much larger glazed area, allowing sunlight to pour in from above. This flood of natural light brightens your space and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. This increase in natural light should lead to you using your artificial lights less, saving you on your bills.

Thermal Performance

While the elegant appearance of lantern roofs might be the first thing you notice, their performance is equally impressive. Modern lantern roofs offer excellent insulation, helping to regulate temperature and reduce the risk of condensation. This means your conservatory or extension remains comfortable in all seasons, allowing you to enjoy your space no matter the weather outside.

Elegant Aesthetic

The aesthetic appeal of lantern roofs is a key selling point. Their elegant, minimalist design adds a touch of sophistication. Whether your home is traditional or contemporary, a well-designed lantern roof can serve as a stunning focal point, drawing the eye upward and creating a sense of space and luxury. The added natural light also improves the look of your interior design.

Increasing Property Value

Beyond their immediate visual and functional benefits, lantern roofs can significantly boost your home’s appeal and market value. This elegant addition can help your property stand out in a competitive real estate market.
