Frequently Asked Questions

What is meant by "flat roof lantern"?

A flat roof lantern typically features either a square, pyramidal shape or is rectangular with a raised spine running down the centre. In this instance, "flat" refers to the fact that these roof lanterns are designed to be installed on flat or nearly-flat roofs (typically with a pitch of less than 15°). Flat roof lanterns are often found over conservatories, or dining areas, where they create quite a dramatic effect. The flat roof lantern is usually chosen when the homeowner wishes to make a bold architectural statement.

Are there any benefits to installing flat roof lanterns?

Yes. The advantages of installing a flat roof lantern begin with their ability to flood the space below with natural light all day long, thereby negating the need for electric light. Keeping the lights off typically results in lower monthly energy bills. A fixed roof lantern will also enhance the kerb appeal of a home, giving it a stylish, sophisticated air. This is important because kerb appeal can affect the value of a home by as much as 10%.

Are your flat roof lanterns easy to maintain?

Yes, our flat roof lanterns use self-clean or easy-clean glass, making them low maintenance. Regular cleaning with warm, soapy water keeps them looking clear and fresh.

Can I install a flat roof lantern on a modern style home?

Yes, flat roof lanterns are an excellent match for modern and postmodern homes. Their clean lines and geometric shapes dovetail harmoniously with the often insistent geometry of modern and postmodern designs, making it appear that the roof lantern was part of the original plan for the home.

Will a flat roof lantern improve my home's ventilation?

It can. Just make sure you purchase flat roof lanterns that open (not all of them do). Once in place, when the windows on the roof lantern are opened, you will experience a significant improvement in ventilation as warm air in the home is drawn upwards and out of the roof lantern.

Will I need planning permission to install flat roof lanterns?

It will depend on several factors. In some cases, installing a roof lantern may be considered "permitted development" in which case you will not need planning permission. However, if the highest point on the roof lantern will rise above the existing highest point on your roof, you may need planning permission. Also, if your home is a listed building, or located in a conservation area, it's likely you will need to obtain planning permission.

Can you install flat roof lanterns?

We cannot. But we can recommend a reliable contractor who can.
