FAQs

What are the exact external dimensions of this lantern?

The dimensions provided (1500mm x 1000mm) refer to the external upstand size, which is the size of the opening the lantern will fit into on your roof.

Is the self-cleaning glass effective in all weather conditions?

The self-cleaning feature works best with UV light (sunlight) and rainwater. It is designed to reduce the frequency of manual cleaning but may not eliminate the need for occasional wiping for stubborn soiling.

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

The U-value measures how well a product prevents heat transfer. A lower U-value (like 2.2 W/m²K) indicates better insulation, meaning less heat escapes in winter and less heat enters in summer, contributing to energy efficiency and comfort.

Can this roof lantern be installed on a pitched roof?

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

What is covered by the 10-year manufacturer's warranty?

The warranty typically covers manufacturing defects and structural integrity issues, subject to the manufacturer's terms and conditions, which often include proper installation and maintenance.

What colours are available for this roof lantern?

This particular model is described as having a grey exterior and white interior, with white external and internal finishes mentioned in some descriptions. The primary colour family is White.

How is the blue tint of the glass achieved?

The blue tint is part of the glass treatment for its self-cleaning properties and UV resistance. It is integrated into the glass during manufacturing.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress or leaks.

Ensure all seals are correctly fitted and the roof opening is properly waterproofed during installation. Check for any damage to the capping or glass. If persistent, contact a professional installer.

Condensation on the inside of the glass.

This can be normal in certain conditions due to temperature differences. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. If excessive, check the integrity of the double glazing seal.

Difficulty cleaning specific spots on the glass.

While the self-cleaning feature is effective, very stubborn marks might require gentle wiping with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Product appears damaged upon arrival.

Inspect the product thoroughly before installation. Report any visible damage to the supplier immediately, providing photographic evidence if possible, to initiate a warranty claim or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the Crystal Aluminium Roof Lantern typically requires professional expertise, especially for ensuring a watertight seal on flat roofs. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer's detailed installation guide. Ensure the roof opening is precisely measured to match the external upstand dimensions (1500mm x 1000mm for this model). The frame is designed for integration into flat roof structures.

Compatibility: This lantern is specifically designed for use with flat roof applications, commonly found in single-storey extensions or new builds. Ensure your existing roof structure can support the weight and accommodate the required opening.

Care: The Blue Self Clean Roof Glass significantly reduces the need for manual cleaning. Rainwater helps to wash away dirt. For any stubborn marks, use a soft, damp cloth with mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the glass coating or aluminium frame. The aluminium cappings should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Periodically check seals and fixings for integrity.
