Built for Penzance homes

Cornwall property here means granite cottages and coastal homes where marine-grade aluminium and storm-rated glazing are essential specs. That local context shapes what we recommend in Penzance — from glass specification to frame colour — before a single quote is written.

Frames are thermally broken aluminium, glazing is 28mm argon-filled with self-clean and solar options, and everything is made to measure. Buy supply-only with kerbside delivery, or have our fitters handle the lot under a written workmanship guarantee.

From Penzance we also serve Falmouth, St Austell and Newquay and the wider county — so if you're comparing quotes anywhere in Cornwall, ours is free, fast and without obligation.

Traditional Roof Lanterns in Penzance — common questions

Do traditional lanterns work on modern extensions?

They can — a tall lantern over a new orangery-style extension with brick piers looks superb. On a minimalist flat-roof box, a contemporary low-pitch design is usually the better fit.

Aluminium or timber for a period property?

Timber for listed buildings and strict conservation contexts; heritage aluminium for everything else — it gives the period look with modern thermal performance and no repainting.

What pitch is a traditional roof lantern?

Between 35 and 45 degrees — tall enough to give the classic pavilion silhouette and the generous internal height that defines orangery-style rooms.

Can I have a finial on an aluminium lantern?

Yes — ridge finials and decorative cresting are available on our heritage aluminium range, giving the traditional silhouette without timber's maintenance.

Can I book installation in Penzance?

We do. Penzance and the surrounding Cornwall towns are core territory for both our installation teams and our supply-only delivery routes.
