Efficiency
The UK’s most energy efficient lantern roof
Offering industry-leading thermal performance, our double or triple glazed roof lanterns provide Hampshire and West Sussex homeowners year round enjoyment. Twice as thermally efficient as its nearest competitor, boasting U-values as low as 0.7 W/m2K triple glazed or 1.2 double glazed. The inclusion of argon gas and warm edge space bar technology also reduces the chance of ‘cold spots’, condensation and mould issues further down the line.
Our roof lanterns also provide twice the insulation of standard double glazing, thanks to a proactive combination of low emissivity glass and argon gas. So, you can expect lower heating and air conditioning bills, alongside robust protection against severe weather conditions.

Do roof lanterns need planning permission?
Typically not, if they are being used to replace an existing roof structure. If lantern roofs or skylights do not project more than 150mm above the existing roof, lantern roof installation should post fewer building regulations and planning permission issues than most. Feel free to get in contact to discuss this further.
