Roof designs are not always a hot topic in home improvement magazines or the most noticeable design element when you first visit a property. That said, a well-designed roof actually makes a substantial difference to the value, comfort and general life of a property. Ultimately, roofs need to be weather-proof, solid and durable and are an absolute essential factor in everyone’s home.

You can also have a bit of fun considering roof designs. At Prestige Roof Lanterns UK, we have a range of roof lanterns, roof lights and skylights that can really make a difference to your home.

Roof Design Idea 1: A Flat Roof Skylight.

Ultimately, a flat roof skylight is a window in the roof that allows a large amount of natural light into your property.

A flat roof skylight is a great, simple element of a roof design that can make a huge difference to the atmosphere within your home.

If you are looking for one of the more straight-forward roof designs, and an increased amount of natural light in your home, then installing a flat roof skylight should definitely be a consideration.

Roof Design Idea 2: Curved or Domed Roof Lanterns.

Curved roof lanterns work particularly well in prestigious properties looking for an added element of grandeur.

A prestige curved roof lantern is the ultimate in luxurious living and provides a central feature made of timber and glass. Not only will this add light and elegance to any room, it will emphasise the brightness and open space within the property.

A domed or curved roof lantern is often larger than a skylight and the curved shape reflects even more natural light into the room than a flat roof light. A curved or domed roof lantern is therefore perfect for those homeowners that are looking for the maximum amount of sunlight to enter their properties.

Roof Design Idea 3: Bespoke Roof Lanterns

“A bespoke roof lantern from Prestige Roof Lanterns is pretty much what it says on the tin “Bespoke”. We turn your idea into reality, using a combination of highly skilled processes.”

Bespoke roof lanterns from Prestige Roof Lanterns UK really do offer the opportunity for everyone to decide upon the perfect roof lantern for their property. Whether you are looking for a small roof lantern installed above a dining room table or a large, domed roof lantern for a traditional hardwood orangery, the bespoke roof lanterns from Prestige Roof Lanterns UK make an excellent feature that can be used in a number of roof designs.

We offer all our customers the opportunity to customise every aspect of their roof lantern, from its dimensions to its shape, colour and height.

For more information on roof lanterns, roof lights and skylights, that can feature as part of a number of different roof designs, contact Prestige Roof Lanterns UK.

The term roof window is a very broad term. Here at Roof Lanterns UK, we manufacture a number of bespoke roof lanterns, roof lights, skylights and domed roof lights to suit your requirements. Firstly, you should consider why you are looking at roof windows. Whether it is a roof window for a loft conversion, your original roof or the roof of a conservatory or orangery extension, here at Prestige Roof Lanterns UK, we can help you find the perfect roof lantern.

Types of Roof Windows

Roof Lights or Skylights

Skylights, also known as roof lights, allow a fair amount of natural light into the room and can often be seen to be a cost-effective option for a roof window.

Skylights are generally inexpensive to install. At Prestige Roof Lanterns UK, our skylights come in a range of configurations (size, colour, design etc.) and we offer a free quotation based on the requirements for your roof window.

Skylights are a type of roof window that allow natural light into your property, but are actually very different to roof lanterns and are much smaller. At Prestige Roof Lanterns UK, we generally do not manufacture skylights smaller than 500 x 500.

At Prestige Roof Lanterns UK, we design, fabricate and supply beautiful, high-quality roof lights to home owners, businesses and trades people around the UK. Our products are engineered using high-quality components to give that prestige look and feel.

Roof Lanterns

A roof lantern makes a luxury addition to your property, and is generally much larger and grander than a roof light or skylight. You could argue that roof lanterns aren’t really a roof window because, they don’t always feature an opening. That said, the sheet amount of light that a roof lantern allows into your property means that they definitely do come under the term ‘roof window’.

At Prestige Roof Lanterns UK, we have a wider range of hardwood roof lanterns available.  Timber roof lanterns are one of the most popular choices for roof lanterns, due in part to the strength and appearance of timber as well as the cost. Timber is one of the cheaper hardwoods but still of very good quality.

Here at Prestige Roof Lanterns we use the finest handpicked timbers to use in the joinery to manufacture a product to high standards.
