Our lantern roofs are made of glass and can be described as miniature conservatories, featuring separate glazing panes set in a frame as sides or facets. They are ideal for giving single-story extensions some design flair, and work especially well in bigger, open-plan areas where they can work with doors and windows to flood the space with natural light.
One of the main benefits of our lantern roofs is that they can provide lighter, brighter rooms while increasing ceiling height. They are also easy to clean and maintain, as our lanterns come with self-cleaning glass. Plus, they can help you save on energy bills by limiting the need for electrical light and improving thermal efficiency to keep your home warmer for longer.
At R&M Windows, we offer a variety of customization options for our lantern roofs, including different finishes, features, and handles. Our lantern roofs come in options of either uPVC or aluminium, and we use self-cleaning glass with a blue tint that helps with thermal efficiency to keep your room at a comfortable temperature.
