Roof Lanterns in Birmingham

If you are looking for the best way to open up the interior of your home without engaging in an expensive and disruptive extension, consider roof lanterns. Roof lanterns in Birmingham extend upward from any flat portion of the roof, capture light and deliver it to the space below. Even the darkest, most claustrophobic room can be transformed into a bright and airy space with the addition of a roof lantern or roof lanterns from Rooflights & Roof Lanterns.

Transform Your Birmingham Home

There is much to love about life in Britain, but for much of the year, natural light is at a premium here due to being located so far north. This can give even a beautifully appointed interior a dim, dusky feel that overwhelms the decor and forces the homeowner to turn on the lights at all hours. Roof lanterns are the smart, cost-effective way to transform the interior of your home while simultaneously enhancing its market value and kerb appeal. 


Unlike skylights that can be installed on virtually any roof, regardless of its angle, and which lay flush to the roof surface, roof lanterns are installed on flat portions of the roof and extend upward with a pyramidal shape. Roof lanterns are an ideal addition to your Orangerie but they are not limited to one type of space. Any room under a flat roof will benefit mightily from a roof lantern or roof lanterns, including bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens.

Roof Lanterns Birmingham FAQs

As of this writing, we do not offer an installation service. We do, however, provide detailed installation instructions with every roof lantern. These should not be used to perform a DIY installation. But should instead be passed on to your chosen contractor. If you wish, we can recommend a reliable contractor for you.

If security is a concern, the roof lantern can be ordered with tempered or laminated glass that will be very hard to break, along with reinforced locks. But let's be real. Burglars choose the easiest way into a home and climbing up to the roof and dropping themselves 8 or 10 feet into the space below is not as easy as just prying open the front door.

A roof lantern is a type of roof window that is generally installed on low-pitch roofs and allows natural light to illuminate the space below. You will often find them installed in home extensions and orangeries and over kitchens or dining areas, where they brighten the space below.

Only in the sense that they are both roof windows. From a practical standpoint, roof lanterns are typically raised, often with a spine running down the middle and several panes of glass meeting at the raised spine. While a skylight is typically a single flat pane that sits flush with the roofline. Also, roof lanterns are designed for flat or nearly flat roofs, while skylights are designed for angled roofs.

 

If the roof lantern is professionally installed and properly maintained, it should last 20 to 30 years. Sometimes longer. If, however, the homeowner performs a DIY installation, it will likely cut that lifespan in half, and indeed they may start experiencing problems right from the get-go.

Yes. One of the most well-known benefits of roof lanterns is that they reduce the need for artificial lighting in the space below. This should result in a smaller electricity bill every month. In addition, if you get roof lanterns that open, the increased ventilation will help keep your home cooler in the summer and enable you to turn off the air conditioner once in a while, saving more money.
