If you’d like to flood your rooms with natural sunlight while enjoying stunning aerial views, a roof lantern installation is a great option to consider. This type of beautiful pitched glazing product can take on many forms, whether you’d like a simple design or a grand focal point within a space. They can offer unrestricted views of the skies above while creating attractive aesthetics.
But where can you install roof lanterns? Here are some ideas to get you started.
Kitchen diners
If you’re planning a kitchen extension, choosing the right windows, doors and glazing is vital for a beautiful and practical design. Perhaps you’re considering corner bifolds to open up your new kitchen to the outdoors or large aluminium windows. In addition, roof lanterns are a popular option to install above cooking and dining spaces, creating zones within the room.
Imagine cooking in a brightly-lit kitchen under a blue sky or eating a candlelit dinner with a starry view above. This is the reality you can create when installing a new roof lantern in a kitchen diner.
Home extensions
Roof lanterns tend to be installed as part of a flat roof, so they’re perfect for home extensions, especially if you’re worried about natural sunlight being obstructed after the build. You can choose lanterns for both ground floor or upper floor extensions, maximising views and light.
If your new extension will have a pitched roof, there are other options to consider. This includes bespoke roof lights, which can be installed on one or more of the pitched slopes.
Commercial roof lanterns
Roof lanterns are perfect for commercial spaces, creating impressive features with functional benefits too. They’re commonly seen in dining halls, grand hallways, corridors, kitchens, meeting spaces, break-out rooms, relaxation areas and more, creating the illusion of more space while allowing clients, staff and guests to enjoy stunning views.
This glazing feature is installed in both traditional and modern spaces, and you can tailor the design to both aesthetical and practical needs. Aluminium roof lanterns have minimal sightlines to maximise their potential while providing slimline frames for an elegant finish.
Modern orangeries
Whether you want to modernise an old conservatory or extend your home with a contemporary orangery, installing a roof lantern can take your designs to the next level. This type of room is often created to produce a relaxing, calming space in the home, so aerial views and natural warmth are a must.
Roof lanterns are also a fantastic alternative to classic conservatory roofs with a lot of glass to keep clean and maintain, making it harder to control the climate of the room all year round. Roof lantern installations provide balance to orangeries, helping you get the best of both worlds by providing a defined roof glazing zone without being overwhelmed by glass.
