What is a Lantern Roof?

Lantern roofs also referred to as a skylight or roof lantern, is essentially a window in the ceiling. With a streamlined design and raised apex, it is an elegant addition to a property, created to make a statement. The lantern roof sits above a roof, unlike a skylight which is fitted into the construction of a roof.

What sets it apart from the traditional window is the slightly raised platform and the versatile designs and shapes you can choose from. Architects and designers call it a ‘daylighting’ architectural element that is designed specifically to provide a natural light source. You can create a luminous space that you can take advantage of throughout the year.

You can use your lantern roof for a number of purposes from lighting a dining room, living area or kitchen or making a focal point in a bathroom or bedroom, the possibilities are endless. We can tailor our products to meet your needs so that you can enjoy them for years to come. Our experienced team are on hand to offer you impartial advice and support.

Traditionally, the lantern roof was used on cathedrals and churches before being utilised as a way to light enclosed stairways in the Victorian era. In the 16th century, they were widely used for orangeries in Europe to help cultivate the growth of citrus trees and plants. Nowadays, they create an elegant way to inject natural light into the home with slim sightlines and a stunning finish.
