When ordering new large skylights or roof lanterns, there are a number of things you need to consider carefully:

Installation Process – Larger, double-glazed units are quite heavy and therefore more difficult to manoeuvre than their smaller counterparts. With this in mind, you need to make sure that you hire a truly professional installation team to fit them in your roof.

Climate Control – A large expanse of glass in the roof of your home or commercial premises will have a noticeable effect on the inside temperature unless you take steps to address this issue. Effective climate control solutions that you may wish to consider include tinted glass, blinds and units that can be opened to let in fresh air.

Cost – Whether you decide to install multiple smaller units in an oversized frame or several large individual units, cost will be an important consideration. Larger skylight installations are inevitably more expensive than smaller ones but you can keep your costs under control by buying from a competitive supplier such as ourselves. We work hard to ensure that our prices remain competitive at all times.

Illumination – Many people install skylights in their homes to introduce more natural light but particularly large installations may introduce more light than you really want. If this is the case, you may wish to have tinted glass fitted to solve the problem. Alternatively, it is possible to fit sliding blinds that will offer a greater level of control over the amount of natural light you enjoy in your home at any given time.
