What Is a Roof Lantern?
A roof lantern is a raised, glazed structure installed on a flat or pitched roof to allow abundant natural light into the room below. Unlike flat skylights, they feature an elevated, pitched design that enhances visual impact and floods interiors with daylight from multiple angles.
The process to install a roof lantern is straightforward, often requiring minimal tools and time, making it an accessible upgrade for many homeowners.
They are popular in kitchen extensions, open-plan living areas, and contemporary renovations where homeowners want to create a bright, airy environment. Built using strong aluminium frames and thermally efficient glazing, including clear glass as an option, a quality lantern keeps your home warm in winter and cool in summer while adding a premium look to your property.

Each style is available in various frame colours, glazing types, and dimensions to suit your build. The cost of roof lanterns can vary depending on the style, size, glazing, and additional features you choose. The process of selecting the right roof lantern involves considering your space requirements, design preferences, and budget to ensure the best fit for your project. Roof lanterns cost more than standard rooflights due to their complex construction and distinctive structural design, with factors such as installation complexity and material quality also influencing the final price.
Is a Roof Lantern Right for Your Project?
They're best suited to flat roofs or low-pitched roofs where impactful daylighting is required.
Choose a roof lantern if:
-
You want a dramatic architectural feature.
-
Your room is large and benefits from multi-directional natural light.
-
You’re building an extension or orangery.
If your property is in a conservation area, you may need additional planning permission before installing a roof lantern or making changes to your roof.
Choose a flat skylight instead if:
-
You prefer a minimal, low-profile appearance.
-
Your roof has limited height allowances.
If you're unsure which option is ideal for your project, our expert team can guide you through design choices, glazing performance, and installation requirements.

Maintenance and Upkeep
Keeping your roof lantern in top condition is key to enjoying all the benefits of more natural light, energy efficiency, and a comfortable living space year round. Modern roof lanterns, such as the Korniche roof lantern, are designed with features like self cleaning glass, making it easier than ever to keep your glass roof lanterns looking pristine and letting in more light. While self-cleaning glass helps reduce the build-up of dirt and debris, it’s still important to give your lanterns a regular check and clean to maintain their performance and appearance.
One of the most common concerns with roof lanterns is whether they can make a room cold during the winter. Thanks to advanced glazing options, including double glazing and thermal breaks, today’s best roof lanterns are engineered for excellent energy efficiency. These features help keep your home warm and comfortable, reducing the need for artificial lighting and extra heating. For even greater control over light and warmth, consider adding blinds or shades to your roof lantern as these can help regulate the amount of sunlight and heat entering your space, especially during the summer months.
Routine maintenance is simple but essential. Inspect your roof lantern’s glass, frames, and seals for any signs of wear, cracks, or gaps. Promptly addressing any issues will help prevent condensation, water ingress, and potential heat loss. If you’re unsure about how to maintain or repair your lantern, always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or reach out to a professional for guidance.
Our expert team is always available to provide more tips on maintenance, installation, and choosing between standard sizes, custom size, or bespoke rooflights to suit your property’s style and structure.
When selecting your roof lantern, look for features like double glazing, thermal breaks, and low-e coatings to maximise energy efficiency and comfort. With the right care and the right product, you’ll enjoy a brighter, warmer, and more inviting space for years to come.
