FAQs

What type of roof is this lantern suitable for?

This Crystal Aluminium Roof Lantern is specifically designed for flat roof projects, such as single-storey extensions.

What are the dimensions of the lantern?

The dimensions provided, such as 200cm (Depth) x 150cm (Width), refer to the external upstand size where the lantern will be fitted.

How does the 'self-clean' glass work?

The specialized blue glass has a coating that reacts with sunlight to break down dirt and grime. Rainwater then helps to wash this residue away, reducing the need for manual cleaning.

What is the U-value, and why is it important?

The U-value measures how effectively a product prevents heat transfer. A lower U-value, like 2.2 W/m²K, indicates better insulation, helping to keep your room warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

What is the warranty period for this roof lantern?

The product comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to terms and conditions.

Can I install this lantern myself?

While it's possible, professional installation by a qualified builder or roofer is highly recommended to ensure proper fit, sealing, and structural integrity.

What colour is the lantern externally and internally?

The exterior features an Anthracite Grey finish, while the interior has a classic White finish.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress or leaks around the lantern.

Ensure all seals are properly fitted and intact. Check for any damage to the roof structure or lantern frame. Professional inspection and re-sealing may be required.

Condensation on the glass.

Some condensation can be normal depending on external humidity and temperature. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room below. If persistent, check for potential air gaps or installation issues.

Difficulty cleaning the glass despite 'self-clean' feature.

While the self-clean feature reduces frequency, stubborn marks may require manual cleaning. Use a soft cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid using scrapers or harsh chemicals.

Reduced natural light compared to expectations.

Verify that the lantern's dimensions are adequate for the room size. Ensure no external obstructions (e.g., tree branches) are blocking light. The blue tint of the glass may also slightly reduce light intensity compared to clear glass.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Increases natural light and improves room ambiance.
  • Creates a perception of greater space.
  • Low maintenance due to self-cleaning glass.
  • Thermally efficient, contributing to energy savings.
  • Durable and weather-resistant aluminium construction.
  • Modern and elegant aesthetic.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for flat roofs, not suitable for pitched roofs.
  • Installation may require professional expertise.
  • Specific dimensions might limit placement options.
  • Blue tint from the glass may slightly alter natural light colour perception.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the Crystal Aluminium Roof Lantern typically requires professional expertise and should be carried out by qualified builders or roofers. It is designed to integrate into flat roof structures, with dimensions referring to the external upstand size. Ensure the roof structure is prepared to accommodate the lantern's frame and sealing requirements.

Compatibility: This lantern is specifically designed for flat roof applications. It is suitable for use in single-storey extensions and similar projects where a flat roof is present. The dual colour finish (Grey/White) allows for compatibility with various exterior and interior design schemes.

Care: The 'Blue Self Clean' toughened roof glass is designed to be low maintenance. Rainwater helps to wash away dirt, and the specialized coating aids in breaking down organic deposits. For general cleaning of the aluminium frame, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Regularly inspect seals to ensure continued weatherproofing.
