Contemporary Glass Roof Lanterns for your Home
Contemporary glass roof lanterns are the perfect look for homes that are modern, traditional, and any other style in between. They bring with them a distinctive, modern look that is unrivalled in its aesthetic; even a smaller rooflight like a flat glass rooflight cannot rival the look of a roof lantern. A roof lantern is perfect for many different parts of the home and will look stunning – for many people, it is something of a luxury that can perfect and finalise a new extension, a conservatory or an orangery.
Some roof lanterns can begin to look a little old fashioned as they age. Even if you are not having a new extension built it might be on your radar that at some point, you will need to replace existing roof lanterns and make them more up to date. Now, there are some stunning new options that will make the investment in a new contemporary roof lantern completely worthwhile. Many contemporary roof lanterns will actually be able to let in more light than their older counterparts, because they have smaller, more minimalist frames so there are fewer bars in the way. This allows for larger expanses of glass, allowing the light to flow in freely and making spaces brighter than before. If you have been living with older roof lanterns, you will definitely notice the difference.
Modern roof lanterns also frames made from different materials that look more aesthetically pleasing. Aluminium is a popular option for premium roof lanterns – it is lightweight and can be very minimalist in its appearance. The interior of the roof lantern can also come in many different RAL colours to match the interior design colour scheme, or to make the room seem even more spacious with a light colour such as white or cream shades. Many people opt for the more on trend colours such as anthracite grey and other shades of grey, which will complement the remainder of the room.
Is a roof lantern the right option for you and your home extension? On a practical level, it will need to be fitted into a flat roof, whereas other types of rooflight may be able to be fitted into a pitched roof, or a slightly pitched roof. Therefore, you need to know that you have a roof that is suitable to support a roof lantern. If you are unsure you will be able to ask a rooflight brand of installer for advice.
The main reason for choosing a glass roof lantern is the aesthetic value it will add. Nothing can compare to the sky views you will get by installing a roof lantern, looking upwards at blue skies and beautiful sun. Even if it is raining, a roof lantern can be highly atmospheric! There are lots of different designs to choose from so if this is an option you would like for your home extension, you will be able to find one that is right for you. Take a look at some of the designs and choose your options to suit your home.
