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.
Richmond
The Richmond timber roof lantern combines traditional craftsmanship with impressive elongated proportions, creating a striking architectural centrepiece for substantial kitchen extensions, orangeries and period-style properties. Measuring 3840mm × 1660mm (internal kerb), its distinctive twenty-pane configuration provides an expansive glazed opening, making it ideal for spacious kitchens, dining rooms, and long rectangular interiors where natural light and traditional detailing matter equally.
Part of our Classic Collection, the Richmond is crafted from engineered Sapele hardwood, with elegantly profiled internal rafters and traditional lamb's-tongue mouldings that bring warmth and architectural character to the room. Its carefully arranged glazing bars and classic 25-degree roof pitch create a beautifully detailed appearance, while the extended length makes it particularly appealing above substantial kitchen islands, long dining tables and traditional orangery interiors.
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 Richmond to complement individual projects.
Supplied in kit form for on-site assembly, with professional installation also available, the Richmond offers an elegant solution for homeowners seeking a substantial traditional timber roof lantern with extensive glazing and refined architectural detailing.
