Roof lanterns fitted in Surrey
If you work from home, you probably spend a lot of time cooped up in the spare bedroom or extension. Working alone gives you chance to focus on your business, but if you don’t commute, you might find yourself missing out on vital fresh air. Many small bedrooms and box rooms have reasonably small windows, too, so anyone who spends a lot of time in them tends to miss out on natural light.
Apart from being detrimental to your mental health, a lack of natural light can cause vitamin deficiencies as well. That’s why it’s important to ensure your workspace isn’t damaging your health. If you spend a lot of time in your office, why not have a roof lantern put in, so you can benefit from sunshine and a better view of the world?
What is a roof lantern?
A roof lantern is a standalone structure that looks a little like the apex of a conservatory. Roof lanterns are normally installed in flat roof spaces, although you can have a roof lantern installed in a pitched roof if you wish.
Roof lanterns come in different shapes and sizes, from simple, contemporary styles to ornate Victorian mouldings. You can opt for a lightweight aluminium frame, or an affordable uPVC alternative, and we can make your roof lantern with clear or opaque glass. If your roof is overlooked, we can even fit privacy glass so you can maintain your privacy while benefitting from the light.
Designing the perfect lantern
When we add a new roof lantern to a home, the key thing is to ensure that it doesn’t dominate the home. We have many decades of experience in fitting new glazing to properties, so we can instantly tell you whether your desired size and shape will fit. Roof lanterns come in a range of standard sizes which are very affordable, but we can also make custom sizes if you have something different in mind.
The colour of the roof lantern also plays a big part in its design, and determines whether it will look appropriate when it’s in place. We can manufacture roof lanterns in a range of different RAL colours, and some roof lanterns have a different colour on the inside and outside of the structure, to give you a pleasing effect inside and out.
As always, you can ask the team at Hamiltons for advice on the size and colour of your roof lantern, and we’ll be happy to visit your home if you’re not sure where to start with the design.
