Aliwood’s Guide To Keeping Roof Lanterns In Tip-Top Condition

It is well known that Aliwood roof lanterns are incredibly low-maintenance and require very little upkeep.

The coating used for our roof lantern glass acts very much like Teflon, and provides a fantastic non-stick surface. As a result, there’s virtually no build-up of damp, moisture, mildew or grime. Your window surface remains remarkably clean for months at a time.

However, once your roof lantern has been installed, it’s important you still look after them to ensure they’re giving the most value to your home. Many windows get so dirty that the light they’re supposed to be guaranteeing your home, never gets in. While the roof lantern looks great, it also serves a purpose – bathing your home in natural light. So, you need to make sure that it’s able to do its job! We simply recommend that they are washed down twice a year to keep them looking clean and fresh.

Below the team at Aliwood are discussing how to keep your Aliwood roof lantern as sparkling clean as the day it was installed:

How To Look After Your Roof Lantern

At its heart, a roof lantern is a beautiful window structure, and all windows need cleaning after some time, even with our low maintenance glazing. The best way to clean the glass is simply to use a non-abrasive sponge with some mild, soapy water and then a micro-fibre cloth or something similar. It’s important to take great care when you’re up on the roof, make sure to watch your footing, and don’t do it alone, if possible. Or better still – hire a professional window cleaner or specialists in cleaning roof lanterns!

Need A Check-Up?

In the unlikely event that anything unfortunate should befall your roof lantern, damage-wise, then fear not! All our roof lanterns come with a 10-year warranty for parts, and a 5-year warranty for labour. So, if anything does get damaged, or needs touching up at all, then our team of dedicated installers will be around to sort it out for you.

They’re Meant To Be Statement Pieces, Take Pride In Them!

A well-maintained roof lantern should have people staring in awe when they come over. If you’re not careful, though, it can look unkempt and messy, and not have the impact that it should be having. You want your roof lantern to be a point of pride within your home, and not something to keep in a room closed away because it isn’t clean as it should be. It doesn’t take a lot of work, and a little goes a long way!
