Aluminium Roof Lantern Ventilation Options
Enhance the comfort and functionality of your roof lantern with two versatile ventilation options. Choose between a ridge-mounted casement window for powerful airflow control, available in both electric and manual configurations, or opt for trickle vents that provide continuous passive ventilation. Both solutions are designed to seamlessly integrate into your roof lantern, ensuring optimal performance, energy efficiency, and weather protection.
Opening roof vents provide controllable ventilation within an aluminium roof lantern and are designed to integrate neatly with the slim roof structure.
Roof vents can be operated manually using a pole or electrically using a discreet actuator. Electric operation can also be combined with a wall-mounted switch and, where specified, rain-sensor and thermostatic controls for greater convenience.
The vent is incorporated into the roof structure and should be specified when the lantern is ordered. A suitably qualified electrician should install any electrical connections and controls.
Passive ventilation can be incorporated into an aluminium roof lantern to provide a continuous background flow of air without the need to open a roof vent.
The passive vents are incorporated within the roofplate. Where this option is specified, the lantern uses an alternative roofplate profile designed to accommodate the ventilation system. The same profile is also used on certain lantern configurations incorporating jack rafters.
Passive ventilation should therefore be specified at quotation or order stage, as it affects the roofplate construction and the appearance of the finished lantern.
