Out stunning roof lanterns can transform your home, flooding it with light and creating a modern, stylish living space

Do you wish that your home was flooded was natural light? A roof lantern could be just the solution. Also known as a skylight, a roof lantern is basically a pitched roof window. Yet, if chosen and installed correctly, it becomes so much more – it can add a real ‘wow factor’ to your room, not only adding natural warmth and light exactly where you want it, but a stylish centrepiece to your room.

Benefits of roof lanterns

A roof lantern comes with a variety of benefits, including:

  • Increased natural light 
  • Improved thermal efficiency
  • Reduced energy bills
  • Stylish, attractive design
  • Good for your health 
  • Add value to your home
  • Self cleaning
  • Value for money
  • Rock solid guarantee

Light without restrictions

A traditional window is fitted vertically in a wall, meaning that if you want to add light, you will need to fit a window to an external wall. This can be difficult if the room doesn’t have many external walls. Because a roof lantern is installed on a roof, your single storey extension, orangery or garage conversion can be transformed without restriction. 

Energy savings

More natural sunlight means more warmth. Plus a properly installed roof lantern will increase your room’s thermal efficiency, helping the room stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This, in turn, will reduce your heating bills.

Health benefits

Increasing the amount of natural sunlight to a room can make a huge difference to the health of the people living in the home. It has been proven to help reduce depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). 
Sunlight contains Vitamin D, which boosts the body’s immune system and can help to prevent heart disease. Studies also suggest that an increase of Vitamin D can suppress a person’s appetite, so you may even lose weight! 

Flexible choices, value for money

Most older skylights were manufactured using aluminium. Not only did this make them expensive, but with a very industrial feel, simply didn’t suit a lot of properties. However, modern roof lanterns are now designed with the style-conscious homeowner in mind, creating an outstanding centrepiece to your room. They also cost far less than they used to, making them excellent value for money. 

High-Tech’s range of roof lanterns are available in a variety of sizes and finishes, and are suitable for many projects, including new builds, flat roof extensions, garage conversions and orangeries. 

Guaranteed

All of our roof lanterns come with a ten year guarantee, leaving you with total peace of mind.
