A guide to purchasing roof lanterns

1. The size & shape of your roof lantern:

Consider the size and shape of your roof. Roof lanterns come in a variety of sizes and shapes, so it is important to choose one that will fit your roof and complement your home's architecture. If you have a small roof, you may want to choose a smaller roof lantern. If you have a large roof, you may want to choose a larger roof lantern. You also need to consider the shape of your roof. If your roof is flat, you will need a different type of roof window than if your roof is sloped.You can see the following shapes & sizes of roof lanterns:

2. Choose the correct roof lantern brand:

Choosing the right brand of roof lantern can be difficult, especially when you are on a budget, or under time pressure. In our opinion ATLAS & Korniche are the best lantern brands.

Atlas roof lanterns - Manufacture quality roof lanterns from durable materials in a wide range of assorted sizes, shapes, styles, colours & glazing’s.

Korniche roof lanterns - Hold a wide range of roof lanterns, focusing on quality. Korchine offers bespoke & standard roof lanterns in all different styles.

How to choose: Both are a very option to add daylight into your home. However, they can vary on price & product range so have a look at both options and make the decision based on price & project requirements. 

3. Choose the correct glazing:

Choose the right glazing. Roof lanterns are typically made with toughened glass, but you can also choose laminated glass or tempered glass. Toughened glass is the most common type of glass used for roof lanterns, and it is very strong and shatter resistant. Lanterns, typically come with a normal clear glazing or a blue ambi tint glazing option. You can choose blue ambi tint for a vibrant view from the interior of your home. Normal glazing is standard clear glass found in most homes around the UK. Both glazing’s come equipped with Low-E coating distributing Uv rays away from furniture & occupants in your property.

4. Compare cost options: 

Consider the cost. Roof lanterns can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. The cost will depend on the size, shape, glazing, and features of the roof lantern. It is important to set a budget before you start shopping for roof lanterns.
