Made to Measure
Explore our bespoke roof lantern designs, individually specified in timber or aluminium, with dimensions, glazing and finishes tailored to suit your project.
Bespoke Rectangular Roof Lanterns
A bespoke rectangular roof lantern offers an elegant and versatile way to introduce natural light into your home. Its elongated proportions make it particularly well suited to kitchen extensions, orangeries, dining rooms and open-plan living spaces, creating a striking architectural feature while complementing the shape of the room below.
At Just Roof Lanterns, our made-to-measure rectangular roof lanterns are available in traditional timber or contemporary aluminium. Timber-framed designs feature beautifully detailed painted Sapele hardwood interiors with protective aluminium capping, while aluminium designs offer slim sightlines and a clean, modern appearance.
Each lantern can be individually specified to suit your project, with dimensions, roof pitch, glazing arrangements and finishes tailored to your requirements. High-performance glazing provides excellent thermal efficiency, while the choice of glazing-bar layouts allows you to achieve either a traditional multi-pane appearance or a more minimalist design.
Whether positioned above a kitchen island, dining area or spacious extension, a rectangular roof lantern creates a generous source of daylight and an elegant focal point.
