The Case for Roof Lanterns in Sheffield

If you are a homeowner looking for a way to enhance the beauty, value and functionality of your home consider roof lanterns from Rooflights & Roof Lanterns. For nearly a quarter-century we have been helping area home and business owners get more from their properties and we can do the same for you. The benefits of installing roof lanterns are many and include:


1. Enhanced energy efficiency - When your Sheffield home is flooded with natural light you do not have to spend as much on electric lighting. Likewise, warm sun streaming through the roof lantern should reduce your heating bills in the winter.

2. Enhanced kerb appeal - How your home is perceived from the street influences its value by as much as 10%. Roof lanterns provide a timeless quality that enhances kerb appeal and provides a bump in valuation.

3. Reduced carbon footprint - We all have a responsibility to pass on a liveable world to the next generation. A more energy-efficient home is one with a smaller carbon footprint.

4. Cost-effectiveness - Between the bump in home value you are likely to experience and the enhanced energy efficiency your roof lanterns will end up paying for themselves over time.

In addition, a home that is flooded with natural light will also help fend off the wintertime blues that affect so many people who live in the northern latitudes.

Roof Lanterns Sheffield FAQs

A roof lantern is a roof window that is typically installed on flat or low-pitched roofs, often in homes but also in commercial settings. The roof lantern is perhaps the most stylish type of roof window with its raised spine and multiple panes of glass. Roof lanterns are a common feature of orangeries and home extensions.

No. A roof lantern is intended to be installed on flat or low-pitch roofs. Skylights can be installed on just about any type of roof, including ones with a very steep pitch. Roof lanterns also stand up noticeably from the roof line, while skylights are usually flush to the roof. And because their design is more complex, roof lanterns are usually more expensive than skylights.

Yes, a roof lantern will make a home more energy efficient by reducing the need for electric lights. Roof lanterns that open also improve ventilation throughout the house, making it cooler and drier and providing the homeowner with a chance to turn their air conditioner off from time to time, thereby further enhancing their home's energy efficiency.

Contemporary roof lanterns are extremely durable. That said, they also require proper installation and care. That means making sure they are installed by an experienced professional and that you take the time to engage in some minimal maintenance (cleaning, inspecting, etc). Do both of those things and your new roof lantern should last at least 20 - 30 years. Maybe more.

Not likely. Although if you are concerned, you can get a roof lantern with tough tempered glass and reinforced locks. The reason we led off with "not likely" is that burglars are well-known for choosing the path of least resistance into a home. Most of the time that means assaulting the front door with a pry bar. Climbing up onto the roof somehow, breaking the glass on the roof lantern and dropping into the space below (perhaps breaking an ankle in the process) does not qualify as the path of least resistance.

We do not currently offer an installation service. We can, however, recommend a contractor for you.
