Roof lanterns

Classic Collection

The Classic Timber Roof Lantern Collection combines the natural elegance of painted Sapele hardwood with a low-maintenance aluminium-capped exterior. These roof lanterns feature internal lamb's-tongue moulded rafters, offering a traditional aesthetic alongside modern energy efficiency. Perfect for the renovation of period homes.

Denby

The Denby timber roof lantern combines generous proportions with traditional craftsmanship, creating an impressive architectural centrepiece for spacious kitchen extensions, orangeries and period-style properties. Measuring 2750mm × 2205mm (internal kerb), its distinctive eighteen-pane design provides an expansive glazed opening, bringing natural light into larger kitchens, dining rooms and open-plan living spaces.

Part of our Classic Collection, the Denby is crafted from engineered Sapele hardwood, with elegantly profiled internal rafters and traditional lamb's-tongue mouldings that introduce warmth and architectural character. Its broad rectangular configuration and classic 25-degree roof pitch create a beautifully balanced appearance, making it particularly appealing above substantial kitchen islands, central dining areas, or orangery seating arrangements.

Externally, durable aluminium capping protects the timber framework from the elements, combining the elegance of painted hardwood with a low-maintenance exterior. Energy-efficient double glazing helps reduce heat loss, while a choice of colours, glazing specifications, ventilation and decorative detailing allows the Denby to complement individual projects.

Supplied in kit form for assembly on site, with professional installation also available, the Denby offers a refined solution for homeowners seeking a substantial traditional timber roof lantern with generous glazing and distinctive architectural detailing
