View ProductIf you’re working on a new home improvement project, we would have to recommend installing a roof lantern. They’re a stylish and eye-catching way to upgrade a home and are perfect for maximising indoor lighting. At Whitesales, we’ve been providing both stock sized and bespoke roof lanterns to the trade for years. During that time, we’ve learnt what works best for different properties and homeowner needs. . Read on to learn more.
Without a doubt, the biggest selling point of roof lanterns is the extra light they bring into the home. Because the sun is overhead, the best way to capture its rays is to place windows in the roof, but lanterns take this a step further. They project upwards from the roof and capture the light from multiple directions, so as the sun moves during the day, the light will keep pouring in.
This means that homes are better lit for longer periods of time. This can give households a light, airy feeling and increase the sense of space, and it’s good for your personal health too. Exposure to natural light helps our bodies produce Vitamin D, and improves our circadian rhythms and sleep patterns, resulting in more focus and better moods.
Another advantage of installing a roof lantern is the increased kerb appeal. They’re a very stylish and eye-catching installation and give homes a modern vibe. Making a home look more attractive is a great way to increase the kerb appeal and, potentially, raise the value of the property.
Now, we must point out that it’s all but impossible to put a precise figure on this. Property values depend on multiple factors and are in a constant state of flux. However, it is a straightforward fact that the more visually appealing a home is, the more likely it is that potential buyers will be interested in it. The greater the interest, the higher the selling price. So even if your current client isn’t thinking about selling their home anytime soon, when the time finally comes to move out, they’ll be very happy they invested in a roof lantern.
It’s also worth noting that contemporary roof lanterns are renowned for being low maintenance. They’re made with exceptionally tough materials that will withstand whatever Mother Nature decides to throw at them and can last for years. For example, our Heritage Rooflights and em.glaze Modular Ridgelights are made with aluminium, so even when the darkest storm clouds gather, they’ll withstand the elements with no trouble at all.
This also means that they rarely require repairs or cleaning. Aside from the occasional wipe-down using warm soapy water and a sponge, your roof lantern won’t require any special treatment. This will be great news for anyone who prefers putting their feet up to climbing ladders and getting their hands dirty.
Lastly, we have to highlight their incredible thermal efficiency. There is a common misconception that heat escapes easily through roof lanterns, but nothing could be further from the truth. The frames form a tight seal that prevents airflow, and they come fitted with double glazing as standard. This helps to trap heat and allows homeowners to regulate their household temperatures more easily.
As a consequence, homeowners may notice they use their central heating and air conditioning systems less. This means lower energy bills and over time, the savings they make will pay for the roof lantern itself. A roof lantern isn’t just an attractive way to light up a house, it’s a long-term investment.
For all these reasons and more, we’re convinced that roof lanterns are perfect for your next home improvement project. Whether you’ve got a flat roof extension that needs a striking centrepiece, or you’re working on a stylish modern new build, our roof lanterns are the ideal finishing touch.
