They add a striking architectural feature to a roof, enhancing the visual appeal of both the interior and exterior of a building.
High-quality roof lanterns with double or triple glazing can help reduce energy costs by improving insulation and reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
Some roof lanterns include opening vents or automated systems, which help in promoting better air circulation, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, or conservatories.
They provide expansive views of the sky, which can improve mood and well-being by fostering a stronger connection to nature.
The combination of aesthetic upgrade, energy efficiency, and added natural light can boost a property’s market value and appeal to potential buyers.

Before finding Kompass I had spent many frustrating months researching aluminium window systems and installers but it seemed no-one could offer the combination of quality, specification and price we were seeking.
I was then recommended to approach Steve and from the outset it was clear that I was in safe hands. We talked through the project and I felt a great weight lifted due to Steve’s knowledge, professional approach and willingness to come up with new ideas – and all at a fair price.
I am pedantic but he matched my desire to get everything just right, even solving a design problem that no-one else had a solution for. His fitters were great too and the end result is stunning.
A huge thanks to all the team.
