LIGHT FROM ABOVE
A crown of glass for a flat roof.
A glass roof lantern sits proud of a flat roof, drawing daylight down into the room below from every angle. It is the classic way to bring light and a sense of height to an orangery, and flat roofed extensions. A Flush roof light is designed with an invisible frame so all you see is sky. It is a dramatic addition to modern glass box extensions.
At Glass House Architecture, we supply and install slim-frame aluminium roof lanterns, and flush glass rooflights that are sized and finished to suit the room. Whether it is a single lantern over a kitchen extension or a run of rooflights across a larger space, each one is made to measure and built to perform.
The difference between a dark room and a bright one.
WHY A ROOF LANTERN
Height, light and a real focal point
A roof lantern lifts the roofline and pulls daylight into the middle of a room where flat glazing cannot reach.
Maximum daylight
Draws light deep into the room below, brightening the whole space.
Raised glass
Sits proud of the roof to catch light from every angle.
A sense of height
Adds volume and a focal point to a flat-roofed room.
Made to measure
Sized for the room, single or in a run across a larger space.
Slim modern frames
Thin sightlines and more glass for a clean, modern look.
Thermally efficient
High-performance, solar-control glazing to manage heat and glare.

We’re absolutely delighted with our new pergola, it has completely transformed our garden. It's sleek and modern, and the glass panels make the space feel open and bright while still providing excellent shelter from wind and rain.

FAQ
Roof lantern questions, answered
A few of the things homeowners ask us most often. Anything else, just ask.
What is a roof lantern?
A raised, multi-faceted glazed structure that sits proud of a flat roof, drawing daylight down into the room below from every angle.
What is the difference between a roof lantern and a rooflight?
A roof lantern is raised and sits proud of the roof, adding height and a focal point. A rooflight is a flatter, flush glazed panel set into the roof.
Where can I fit a roof lantern?
Over orangeries, Glass Box and Flat Roof extensions, more often above a kitchen, dining or living room where more light and height is required.
Do roof lanterns overheat in summer?
No. We use solar-control glazing to manage heat and glare, so the room stays comfortable while still filling with light.
Can I have more than one?
Yes. A single lantern suits most rooms, but a run of lanterns works well across a larger open-plan space.
