The county's housing stock — stone tenements, Georgian townhouses and bungalow belts — slim conservation-friendly profiles are frequently specified — shapes our recommendations here more than any brochure could.
You get the same product either way — thermally broken aluminium, self-clean and solar-control glass options, made to the millimetre. The only choice is who fits it: your builder with our documentation, or our own nationwide teams.
Standard sizes below — made to measure quoted same day. Installation available nationwide if you’d rather we fit it.

Yes. Our powder coat is marine-grade as standard, and aluminium itself doesn't rust. For exposed shoreline plots we can also upgrade fixings and glazing to suit the wind loading.
Far bigger than most rooms need — spans over 3m wide and 6m long are achievable with reinforced ridge sections. Past a certain size we'd recommend twin lanterns instead, purely for proportion.
Strength. Aluminium carries the same glass on much slimmer bars, so the lantern looks lighter and lets more daylight through. It also holds its colour and shape for decades, where uPVC profiles are bulkier and can discolour.
Not when thermally broken. The polyamide barrier separates the cold external aluminium from the warm internal face, keeping the inside surface above dew point in normal conditions. Good room ventilation does the rest.
