On a Georgian rectory or a Victorian villa, an aluminium lantern can look like a visitor. Timber lanterns belong — the ovolo mouldings, the painted finish, the proportions all match the joinery the house was built with.

We supply bespoke hardwood and Accoya roof lanterns, factory-finished in any colour, for heritage projects, conservation areas and owners who simply prefer wood.
Our timber lanterns are made by specialist joinery workshops in engineered hardwood or Accoya — modified timber with a 50-year above-ground durability rating that has transformed what wooden rooflights can promise. Frames are factory spray-finished in microporous paint, glazed with slim heritage double-glazed units, and detailed with the mouldings, cappings and finials the period demands. Lead times are longer than aluminium and every lantern is drawn for approval before manufacture — the right process for listed-building consent applications, where we can supply section drawings for your submission.

Far less than they used to be. Accoya and engineered hardwood with factory microporous finishes typically need recoating every 8–10 years rather than the constant attention old softwood demanded.
Timber is usually the material conservation officers want to see on listed properties. We supply scaled section drawings and specification documents to support your consent application.
Accoya is acetylated timber — wood modified at a cellular level for stability and rot resistance, carrying a 50-year above-ground warranty. It holds paint beautifully and barely moves with the seasons.
Yes — frames are factory spray-finished to any RAL or matched colour, so the lantern arrives ready-painted to sit alongside your existing windows and doors.
Typically 6–10 weeks from approved drawings to delivery, depending on workshop schedules and finish. We'll confirm the programme before you commit.
