In construction, "sky lantern" is a broad term covering rooflights, roof domes, skylights and roof windows. It is unrelated to the floating ceremonial lanterns of the same name.

No. Some suit flat roofs, others pitched roofs, and some are designed for hallways, stairways or bathrooms. Contact our customer care team to find the right match for your roof.

We strongly recommend hiring an experienced contractor. Most post-installation issues with sky lanterns can be traced back to DIY fitting, and self-installation may also void your warranty.

Yes, all sky lanterns carry a warranty covering materials and build quality. Note that self-installation may void it. Warranty length and terms vary by manufacturer and model.

It depends on your property and location. We recommend contacting your local authority before starting installation to confirm whether planning permission is required.

Not to be confused with decorative floating lanterns, a sky lantern resembles a roof lantern but can be larger. Typically installed on flat or low-pitch roofs to maximise natural light and create a striking architectural feature.

Sky lanterns differ mostly in the size and complexity of their framework, which features raised frames and multiple angled glass panels that spread out further than the average roof lantern, allowing more light to penetrate to the interior.

Sky lanterns are most often found above kitchens, dining areas and other living spaces where the light they allow in creates a stunning visual impact that will wow your guests.

The benefits of sky lanterns include bringing more natural light into a space than you might receive with other rooflights. They also enhance the perception of space, improve the interior ambience, and add architectural interest while increasing your home value.

Sky lanterns are specifically designed to be installed on flat roofs. No other type of roof is built to accommodate their weight, shape or size. Sky lanterns are installed on upstands on flat roofs to ensure effective drainage and long-term durability.

If one of your goals is to improve ventilation in your home, you can get sky lanterns with panes that open either manually or with electronic mechanisms.

There may be instances where sky lanterns fall under permitted development. But because of their sheer size and visibility, it's entirely possible that planning permission may be required. Certainly, if your home is a Listed Building or located in a Conservation Area, planning permission will be required.

Surprisingly, sky lanterns require very little by way of maintenance. Normally, all that is necessary is an occasional cleaning and checking of the seals and opening mechanisms (if any).

Sky lantern designs are very versatile and can adapt well to both traditional, period and modern home designs.
