Roof lanterns good or bad?
Comments (7)Hi. We supply (and fit if needed) aluminium roof lanterns and flat rooflights so are therefore biased towards them but I hope the info below will help you! Pros Fantastic way to improve the appearance of a flat roof extension, providing a striking centrepiece Opens your ceiling up to the sky, maximising light flow Makes rooms look bigger and brighter instantly. Cons Heat loss - of course, incorporating a roof lantern to your extension will result in more heat loss than just a flat roof, the same as putting windows in a room does! Including a roof lantern opens up the room and gives a feeling of space. Our roof lantern system is thermally broken and addresses the issue of heat loss well, with a high thermal performance and overall U-value as low as 1.2 (0.7 with triple glazing) Cleaning the glass - our roof lanterns have self-cleaning glass Expense - an aluminium roof lantern is perceived as a high value product; we can offer a very competitive quotation! Other Points (valid for our roof lantern system) Solar Control Glass stops sun rays bleaching your furniture. It also improves the lantern's thermal properties. Openers for ventilation - these can be included if required Our roof lantern has only a 25* pitch keeping sightlines low and unobtrusive. Some lanterns have as much as 40* pitch. We also supply a flat glazed unit if you're looking for a more modern style. Slim 40mm rafter bars (competitors products are up to 150mm) and no tie bars Subtle design for the external rafter caps Quality powder-coated finish available in any RAL colour Sorry a bit late answering your question. Please feel free to give us a call or email if you want any more info or images for inspiration.

Comments (6)You have listed the key options. A similar discussion can be found [Hanging a light from roof lantern[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/hanging-a-light-from-roof-lantern-dsvw-vd~4135444?n=5). Instead of a bar or tension wire, perhaps a glazier could supply a section of toughened glass which could be used to suspend pendant lights without blocking natural light. Other options included a light recess around the reveal with powerful LED tape, or surface mounted fittings....See MoreBi-folds our ceiling lantern for more light?
Comments (1)This stuff is out of my depth but I did have a few thoughts. Agree with you about light worries especially for the rooms behind. I think I’d want as much glazing as possible and evenly spaced too. How wide is it? Because I’ve seen photos of multiple openings of French doors where the repetition really looked good. I would also go with repeated sky lights too. Another thing to consider is that fixed windows let lots of light in since the frames are much slimmer. Anyhow, you’re more likely to get good suggestions on here if you post dimensions and photos. :)...See Morewhich colour under the porch?
Comments (4)Oh, okay. I still think that black would be good though. Or a really dark grey. Don't people trip over the threshold? It's quite a step I think? Would it be an idea to create a step in front of the door? Or don't you think it's necessary?...See Moretwamleyk
