Product Information

Full details

The Crystal Aluminium Roof Lantern is designed for homeowners undertaking flat roof projects like single-storey extensions, offering a contemporary solution to flood interior spaces with natural light and create a sense of openness. Its key benefit is its ability to transform a room by enhancing brightness and adding elegance. A potential caveat to consider is that dimensions refer to the external upstand size, so precise internal measurements should be confirmed. This roof lantern features a sleek black exterior with a white interior, 24mm toughened double glazing, aluminium external capping, and low-maintenance blue self-clean roof glass, all contributing to a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What are the exact external dimensions of the roof lantern?

The dimensions provided (1500mm x 1000mm) refer to the external upstand size, which is the measurement of the base that sits on the roof.

Is this roof lantern suitable for pitched roofs?

No, this specific model is designed for flat roof applications only.

How often does the self-clean glass need cleaning?

The self-clean feature reduces maintenance significantly. The frequency of manual cleaning depends on environmental factors, but generally, it requires less attention than standard glass. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is often sufficient.

What is the U-value and what does it mean for my home?

The U-value is 2.2 W/m²K. A lower U-value indicates better insulation, meaning the lantern will help keep heat inside your home during colder months and potentially reduce energy costs.

What materials are used for the frame and capping?

The roof lantern features an aluminium frame and aluminium external cappings for durability and a modern finish.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Crystal Aluminium Roof Lantern comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to their terms and conditions.

Does the product come with installation instructions?

Yes, detailed installation instructions are provided by the manufacturer, but professional installation is strongly recommended.

Can I get this roof lantern in different colors?

This specific model has a black exterior and a white interior. Other color options may be available from the manufacturer for different product variants.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress around the lantern

Ensure all seals are correctly installed and that the roof structure has adequate drainage. If leaks persist, professional inspection and resealing are recommended.

Condensation on the glass (internal or external)

Minor condensation can be normal due to temperature differentials. Excessive condensation may indicate an issue with the seal integrity or ventilation. Allow the unit to acclimatize and ensure proper room ventilation.

Reduced light transmission

Clean the glass surface with a soft, damp cloth. If dirt or debris persists, a mild soap solution may be used, followed by rinsing and drying. Check for any obstructions on the roof exterior.

Difficulty opening/closing (if applicable)

This model is a fixed roof lantern and does not open. If you are experiencing issues with a different model, consult its specific manual.
