The county's housing stock — Victorian seaside villas and bungalow stock where coastal-spec aluminium frames are standard — shapes our recommendations here more than any brochure could.
Every lantern is thermally broken aluminium as standard, glazed with 28mm argon-filled units, and available with self-clean and solar-control coatings. Supply-only orders include kerb specifications and fitting documentation; installed projects carry our written workmanship guarantee on top of the 10-year product cover.
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.
Your choice: a simple wall switch, a remote, app control, or full automation that opens on temperature and closes on rain. Most kitchens land on switch-plus-rain-sensor.
Send the form and we’ll come back with honest prices — supply-only or installed — with a response within 1 working hour.
