Lantern Roofs

What is a lantern roof conservatory?

A lantern roof is made up of multiple angled glazed panels rising from a flat roof, resulting in a stunning glass focal point. These roofs are constructed using insulating aluminium or uPVC frames. The glass used in the roof has solar control and self-cleaning properties, saving on heat and maintenance. Roof lanterns can be fitted with widths from 300mm to 1200mm.

A durable and weather-resistant roof option

Made with high-quality aluminium or uPVC frames, roof lanterns are designed to withstand the harshest weather. One feature of our lantern roofs is their larger glass panels giving you more sunlight without affecting the structural integrity of the roof. The use of modern manufacturing techniques and a triple layer storm shield protection ensures maximum strength against snow, strong winds of up to 130mph, and heavy rain.

You can trust that your roof will be a long-lasting and enjoyable addition to your home. Investing in our lantern roof means you can enjoy the benefits of a beautifully designed structure that enhances the aesthetics of your home while also providing exceptional functionality and durability.

A premium looking and performing interior with insulated pelmets

The internal pelmet or surround of the lantern can be finished in a range of colours to match your interior scheme. One advantage of pelmets is easy installation of lighting fixtures. Spotlights and down lights can be added to illuminate the space. The internal pelmet adds style and practicality to any room. Its design and options make it a versatile addition, while its thermal insulation properties help to maintain a comfortable living temperature.

An environmentally friendly lantern roof conservatory

Our lantern roofs are designed with glazing that achieves exceptional U-values of 1.1. Surpassing standards set by building regulations and offering superior thermal performance. Our Lantern roofs are equipped with a fully insulated under cladding and eaves rail. These features effectively prevent cold air from entering and maintain warmth during the winter. During the hotter months, the roofs are designed to let out the hot air, ensuring a pleasant and cool environment in the room.

An energy efficient conservatory roof with maximum light

We also offer optional roof vents to adjust the ventilation. With our lantern roofs, you can enjoy the perfect balance of thermal insulation and ventilation, ensuring a comfortable and energy-efficient living space with maximum light. The exceptional thermal capabilities and modern design elements make our roofs a fantastic addition to any home.

Adding the wow factor to your conservatory

Roof lanterns add a dramatic touch to conservatories and extensions. With a lantern roof conservatory, you won’t need to compromise on performance in exchange for style. With slimline, unobtrusive frames they maximise the glazing area, upward views and daylight.

Lantern roofs are the ideal solution if a fully glazed conservatory roof would leave you open to overlooking neighbours, as the flat roof surrounding the lantern roof will provide privacy to your conservatory. They’re also the perfect choice for homeowners who wish to let in the sunlight, without it being too much, as they can be designed in a wide range of sizes. Colour and design options increase the choice still further.

Do roof lanterns make the room cold?

Installing a roof lantern does not directly result in a colder room. But its impact on the room's temperature depends on insulation and glazing. Properly insulated and double-glazed roof lanterns can actually help in retaining heat and preventing cold drafts. At SEHBC, we prioritise using the highest quality materials and employ proper installation techniques to minimize any potential effect on the room's temperature.
