Roof lantern — what it is
A lantern is the pitched, faceted one that stands proud of the roof. A flat rooflight is a single sealed pane sitting almost level. Lanterns throw light further into the room and look like a feature; flat units are cleaner from outside and better where planning is sensitive or the roof is overlooked. Both need a builder-formed upstand — they do not sit straight onto the deck.This page shows only the roof lantern designs. If you want to compare across the whole range, go back to all roof lanterns.

Questions
Do I need an upstand?
Yes. The lantern or rooflight sits on a timber kerb built up off the roof deck, usually 150mm high, with the roof covering dressed up its sides. Building the kerb is your builder's job — we supply the unit to fit it.
What size upstand do I order to?
We work to the external dimensions of the finished kerb. Get that number from the builder once the kerb is actually built, not from the drawing — a 10mm error on a rooflight is not recoverable.
Lantern or flat rooflight?
Lantern for drama and for throwing light deep into a room. Flat for a cleaner look from outside, for overlooked roofs, and where planning is sensitive. A lantern generally collects less debris because rain runs off the pitch.
