Frequently Asked Questions

What are opening roof lanterns?

Roof lanterns typically have several separate window panes along each side that reach up and grab the light. With an opening roof lantern, one or more of those panes can be opened to allow fresh air in and to enhance ventilation. In some cases, the entire roof lantern will pivot open from the base.

Can opening roof lanterns be installed on any roof?

As a general rule, opening roof lanterns are designed to be installed on flat, or nearly flat roofs (those roofs with a pitch of less than 15°). If you are in search of a roof window that will open that you can install on a steeply pitched roof we have many rooflights and skylights that will fit the bill.

How long does it take to install opening roof lanterns?

If we are only talking about a single opening roof lantern, it can be done in as little as an afternoon, as long as the roof does not require any structural modifications. If you plan to have several opening roof lanterns installed, it will likely take a day and a half, perhaps a couple of days.

Can I install the opening roof lantern myself?

Experienced DIYers sometimes harbour the notion that they can install a rooflight, roof lantern or skylight themselves. We, however, would strongly recommend against this. Our experience shows us that most installation issues occur in roof lanterns that were installed by the homeowner. A much better course of action is to hire a contractor to do the installation for you. If you like, we can recommend a reliable, experienced contractor for you.

Is a rooflight the same as a roof lantern?

While the words are often used interchangeably, rooflights and roof lanterns are not the same. The main difference is that roof lanterns are larger than rooflights and that they stand up from the roof, either in a pyramidal shape or in a rectangular shape with a raised spined running down the middle. Most rooflights, on the other hand, sit flat against the roof. In addition, rooflights are often installed on steeply pitched roofs. While roof lanterns are almost always installed on flat roofs.

Do you install opening roof lanterns?

We are not able to offer installation services at this time. However, every opening roof lantern comes with thorough, step-by-step installation instructions that you can forward to the contractor performing the installation.
