Roof Lanterns

Roof lanterns offer several key advantages, including lots of natural light for brighter rooms, a greater sense of space from overhead glazing, modern aesthetic appeal as an architectural focal point, and improved energy efficiency thanks to quality glazed units that help reduce heat loss and lower lighting costs.

At Art On Glass, we believe roof lanterns are one of the most effective ways to transform a kitchen, extension or living space without major structural changes. Because the glazing sits within the roof itself rather than a wall, you get natural light from multiple angles throughout the day, making even a modest sized room feel considerably larger and brighter.

Yes, modern roof lanterns use high performance double glazing and thermally efficient framing, helping regulate temperature so your space stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer, while reducing reliance on artificial light during the day.

At Art On Glass, every roof lantern we install is specified with energy efficiency in mind, using low-emissivity glass and insulated frames that work together to help minimise heat loss. This means you get all the benefits of an open, light filled space without the drafts or temperature swings that can come with older, poorly insulated glazing.

Yes, in most cases, a roof lantern has a noticeable effect on how spacious a room feels. Because the glazing sits overhead rather than at eye level, it draws the eye upward and brings in light from a different angle than your windows, which helps remove the boxed-in feeling that can come with a flat, solid ceiling. Rooms with a roof lantern often feel taller and more open, even when the floor area itself hasn’t changed.

At Art On Glass, we regularly fit roof lanterns into kitchens and extensions where homeowners want more space without knocking through walls or extending the property’s footprint. The combination of extra natural light and the visual height a lantern adds tends to make the biggest difference in rooms that previously relied on a single window or two for daylight.

Yes, roof lanterns come in a variety of frame colours and styles to integrate with both modern and traditional home designs, allowing you to match them to your exterior aesthetic.

At Art On Glass, our roof lanterns are designed to elevate the character of your home, not just add light. With a wide choice of RAL colours, finishes and frame styles, you can create a look that feels bespoke to your property, whether that’s a sleek, contemporary statement or a timeless, traditional finish that complements period features. Choosing the right roof lantern colours and styles means your extension or kitchen doesn’t just gain natural light; it gains a genuine design upgrade that gives your entire home a more premium, considered feel.

Roof lanterns are ideal for areas such as kitchen extensions, living areas, orangeries and flat roofed conservatories, where extra light and architectural interest are desired.

At Art On Glass, we design and install roof lanterns tailored to each of these spaces, helping homeowners bring in more natural light while adding a genuine architectural focal point to the room.
