Bespoke Timber Roof Lanterns

Roof lanterns are striking architectural features designed to enhance both the form and function of a space by elevating ceiling height, allowing sunlight into the room, and air flow if opening vents are included in the design. 

Areas with limited natural light such as kitchens, stairwells, flat-roofed extensions, and low-ceilinged rooms can be significantly enhanced with the addition of a lantern or roof light. There are many benefits to increasing the amount of natural light in our homes and other indoor spaces: an increase in the useability and function of a space, a decreased need for electrical lighting, and health benefits such as improved sleep and focus, increased productivity, and enhanced emotional well-being. The increased amount of natural light entering your home will serve you in health benefits without you needing to adjust your routine. 

In the day, roof lanterns amplify natural light, fostering a sense of spaciousness within the room. Whilst indoors you can look up and admire the clouds as they sweep by, and appreciate the changing colourful hues that filter into the room as evening falls. At night, with the lights off, a lantern now becomes an in-home miniature observatory where you can look up into the night sky. Alternatively, you may like to hang an impressive lighting feature or chandelier beneath the lantern to add a dramatic effect, contrasting against the deep colour of the night sky still visible above.

In commercial properties, such as restaurants or hotels, the increased sense of space and light can completely change the atmosphere, resulting in a more appealing venue. Even the smallest or dullest spaces can undergo a remarkable transformation with the addition of a roof light or lantern. 

Lanterns are highly customisable to meet diverse architectural needs. They can be square, rectangular or circular. Circular lanterns, while offering a unique aesthetic, will typically be segmented to maintain straight lower edges, however, curved glass is an additional option for those seeking a distinctive look. The high quality and durability of the materials, as well as the construction methods used by Hampton Conservatories, ensures an enduring product of timeless design.
