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.

Markham

The Markham timber roof lantern combines traditional craftsmanship with beautifully balanced proportions, making it an elegant choice for smaller kitchen extensions, orangeries and period-style renovations. Measuring 1115mm × 1115mm (internal kerb), its compact square eight-pane design introduces natural light while creating a distinctive architectural feature without requiring a large roof opening.

As the smallest model in our Classic Collection, the Markham features painted Sapele hardwood internally, with finely detailed timber rafters and traditional lamb's-tongue mouldings that bring warmth and character to the room. Externally, durable aluminium capping protects the timber framework from the elements, combining the appearance of traditional joinery with the practicality of a low-maintenance exterior.

High-performance double glazing provides effective thermal insulation, while a choice of frame colours, glazing options, ventilation and decorative detailing allows the Markham to complement individual projects. Supplied as a kit for on-site assembly, with professional installation also available, it offers a refined solution for homeowners seeking a traditional timber roof lantern in a compact format.
