Roof Lanterns
A raised aluminium lantern for flat roof extensions where the glazing should be a feature.
Design Choices
A roof lantern is more spec-led than a typical window or door, so the key choices are frame finish, glass type, vent control, and the surveyed roof opening size.
The standard roof-lantern palette covers the most common grey, black, and white routes, with custom colours available when the lantern needs to tie into the roof finish or interior scheme.
Custom RAL colours available to order
Can be matched to the lantern kerb, roof finish, or interior palette
Powder-coated aluminium finish keeps maintenance low
Stock colours support the fastest lead times. Custom RAL colours are confirmed once glazing, vent, and fabrication requirements are signed off.
Roof-lantern glazing is usually chosen around how much daylight, glare control, and insulation the room needs rather than decoration alone.
Clear glazing is the cleanest daylight route and comes with the self-cleaning, argon-filled, warm-edge specification that makes the Maxi lantern range practical in everyday use.
Blue, neutral grey, and bronze tint routes help manage glare and solar gain on brighter roof orientations without losing the clean lantern look.
The lantern can be configured around either double or triple-glazed units depending on thermal targets, opening size, and the wider extension brief.
Self-cleaning glass, argon filling, and warm-edge spacers remain standard across the glazing options rather than premium add-ons.
Vent choice matters most in kitchen extensions and warmer rooms where the lantern is being asked to help with passive cooling as well as daylight.
A manual vent is the simplest route where the lantern is accessible and the client wants fresh air without adding automation.
Electric operation suits higher lanterns and larger kitchen extensions where regular ventilation is wanted without manual reaching.
Rain-sensor control helps protect the room if the vent is left open and the weather turns, which is useful on changeable days and occupied family rooms.
A thermostatically controlled vent opens and closes around room temperature, helping to manage summer heat build-up in glazed extensions.
The lantern is fabricated around the exact roof opening. These two sheet-backed guide sizes give a realistic price range before the survey confirms kerb, roof fall, colour, glass, and vent details.
£1,799From
from price for the sheet's 1000 x 1200mm Maxi-Hipped guide size
A smaller Maxi-Hipped lantern still gives the room a raised roof feature, but the exact opening and kerb detail need checking before order.
£3,999From
from price for the sheet's 3000 x 3000mm Maxi-Hipped guide size
Larger roof openings need the same proportion check, with the finished lantern specified around structure, access, glazing weight, and room use.
Guide prices are starting points, not final quotes
Final size is surveyed from the prepared roof opening
Aluminium quotes are normally held for around 7 days
Guide prices exclude colour upgrades, vent controls, specialist glazing, roof preparation, making good, and unusual site conditions. The written quote is confirmed after survey.
Technical Details
Product fit
A hipped roof lantern is the right route when the roof glazing should be a visible feature, not just a flat pane of overhead light. It adds height, structure, and a more architectural shape to kitchens, extensions, and garden rooms where the roofline can carry it.
Free Survey
If this looks like the right fit, we can survey the opening, confirm the specification, and price it properly for your home with no obligation.
The Maxi-Hipped Roof Lantern is the raised architectural option for flat roof extensions and garden rooms where you want more visual presence than a flush rooflight. Built by our premium aluminium manufacturer using ultra-slim aluminium profiles with a 60mm ridge beam, every lantern is made to your exact dimensions in five days on the express service. Self-cleaning, argon-filled glass and warm-edge spacers come as standard, not as an upgrade.
