Frequently Asked Questions

What size roof lantern window should I get?

The size of the roof lantern window you get is up to you. If we assume your roof can accommodate any of our roof lanterns then it's a matter of how much light you want to allow into a space. Even a 1 metre x 1 metre roof lantern will brighten an average-sized room up to a significant degree. While two or three will flood the space with light. Instead of three modest-sized roof lanterns, you could opt for one or two large ones. It's really up to you.

Do roof lantern windows require a lot of maintenance?

High-quality roof lanterns from Rooflights & Roof Lanterns are low-maintenance roof windows that will provide years of reliable service. But while they are low-maintenance they are not no-maintenance. You should arrange to have them cleaned every few months. And once a year someone should perform a visual inspection to make sure the roof lanterns have not been damaged by falling or flying debris.

Do your roof lantern windows come with a warranty?

Of course. Although we are pretty sure you will never need to invoke it, rest assured that every rooflight and roof lantern we sell is covered by a full warranty. It’s just one more way we aim to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

Do I need planning permission to install roof lantern windows?

It will depend on the type of roof lantern. Some of our roof lantern windows sit very low to the roof line and will not require planning permission to install. If, however, you choose a roof lantern window that raises more than 15cm above the surface of the roof you will likely need to apply for planning permission. In addition, if your home or business is a listed building or is located in a conservation area it is very likely you will need planning permission.

Do you offer an installation service?

All of our rooflights and roof lanterns come with comprehensive installation instructions that you can use or that you can pass on to the contractor of your choice. Should you misplace the instructions or require more information we provide additional installation information for all of our rooflights and roof lanterns on our website here. And, of course, if you have additional questions or you would like advice about choosing a contractor to install your roof lanterns our customer care experts are always here to help.

What Are Lantern Roof Windows?

Lantern roof, or roof lantern, windows are a type of roof window with a pyramid-shaped design featuring 4 panes of glass in a single frame, which is normally fabricated from aluminium and comes with easy-to-install yet highly secure clip-on fixings. They are generally a little more ornate than simple flat rooflights, making them more appealing to owners of homes with traditional architectural styles and features.

Will Roof Lanterns Lower My Home’s Energy Efficiency Rating?

No, in most cases the installation of roof lanterns will result in an improvement in your property’s energy efficiency rating, not a downgrade. By allowing more natural light into your home on a year-round basis, you will make it easier to keep warm during the winter months and during cold spells at other times of the year, thereby improving your home’s energy efficiency rating and lowering your home energy costs.

Are Roof Lanterns Better for Period Properties or Contemporary Homes?

It’s down to your preferences and tastes in interior/exterior décor but, generally speaking, roof lanterns are considered to be most suitable for older or more traditionally designed properties. This is because they are more decorative than plain skylights and tend to complement the more complex lines of traditional residential property architecture in the UK. With that said, we have seen some beautifully managed installations in contemporary homes that looked fantastic to us. If you are not sure whether roof lanterns are right for your property, spend some time checking out our range and see how you feel about the designs.

What Sort of Warranties Come With Lantern Roof Windows?

The Brett Martin, Wendland and Korniche Roof Lanterns we carry are supplied with 10-year warranties covering material and manufacturing defects. The company that installs your roof lanterns should also provide a warranty covering the work they perform. The length of this warranty may vary from one service provider to the next so it is a good idea to ask when approaching installers in your area. Whilst it is unlikely you will need to make a claim, it is nice to know you are covered.

Are Roof Lanterns Easy to Install?

Roof lanterns are a little more difficult to install than flat skylights but it is still quite a simple job for an experienced professional. We don’t however, recommend DIY installations in most cases as it is too easy to make critical mistakes with a roof lantern installation.
