Cardiff work means dealing with Victorian terraces and bay-fronted semis where side-return and rear extensions make lanterns a staple, and our surveyors specify accordingly rather than quoting blind.
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.
Not in a quality system — the sash closes onto continuous gaskets and locks down tight. The vent panes carry the same glazing spec and guarantee as the fixed glass around them.
Over kitchens and in south-facing rooms, emphatically yes — venting at the highest point purges heat and steam faster than any window can. In cooler, well-ventilated rooms a fixed lantern plus good doors often suffices.
The rain sensor closes it automatically — it's a standard part of the package, not an optional extra, so an open vent and a surprise shower never meet.
Only on certain systems — vents are normally factory-built into the roof slope. Send photos of your lantern and we'll confirm whether a retrofit sash exists for it or whether replacement is the honest answer.
Send the form and we’ll come back with honest prices — supply-only or installed — with a response within 1 working hour.
