WHAT WILL A ROOF LANTERN BRING TO MY HOME?
How do I install a Roof Lantern?
A roof lantern will bring both light and space into your home. When it comes to home renovation, proportions are everything and a roof lantern will not only add additional height to your ceiling, it will make your room both look and feel bigger.
An innovative solution designed to let natural sunlight stream into your home – the roof lantern is certainly a thing of architectural beauty. Built into a flat roof and designed with a perfect balance of symmetry and proportion, our roof lanterns can transform even the darkest of rooms into a glorious light and bright space. A bright and spacious room with a high proportion of glazing can enhance your wellbeing, both physically and psychologically.
Roof lanterns offer beautiful and expansive views of the sky above and there’s certainly something undeniably pleasant about a room with a view of the sky. This is true of both clear evenings when you can look out at the starry night sky and even on rainy evenings when the calming pitter-patter of raindrops on the roof lantern can be comforting from the cosiness of your home.
Available in three alternative shapes
WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF A ROOF LANTERN?
Maximising the amount of natural light in your home not only has a positive impact on energy usage and finances, as fewer artificial lights are needed, it also has a huge effect on your health and wellbeing. Natural sunlight helps improve your body’s immune system and is a fantastic source of Vitamin D, which is vital for maintaining a healthy metabolism, bones and muscles.
Sunlight can play a great role in lifting our spirits and making us feel happier. Natural light helps to keep our ‘circadian rhythms’ in check, which helps to regulate healthy sleep patterns. Like all other animals that are active during the day, us humans are naturally tuned in with the changes in light outside. Sensors in our eyes can detect the difference between morning sunlight and afternoon sunlight, which in turn influences the levels of our melatonin and serotonin hormones which work together to control our inner body clock.
Space and Layout
The space and layout of the room in your home can also have a huge effect on your health and wellbeing. Even a home’s ceiling height can have an influence; various studies show that when people are in a building with higher ceilings, they are better at creative thinking and are more engaged at social gatherings.
“If you are in need of extra living space for a growing family, or entertaining friends the addition of a single-story flat roof extension could provide you with the much-needed extra space. When designing this…”
