At Direct Roofing Systems, we supply high-quality roof lanterns to both the trade and public. Easy to install and stylish by design, our lanterns remain a popular choice for homeowners looking to enhance their properties.
Not only do roof lanterns add elegance and sophistication, but they also improve property value and deliver exceptional natural light. We proudly supply lanterns from leading brands such as Sheerline and Eurocell, known for their outstanding performance, thermal efficiency, and sleek modern profiles.
If your customers are wondering why roof lanterns are such a popular investment, here are four key reasons to choose them.
1. Roof Lanterns Provide Stunning Skylight Views
A roof lantern instantly transforms a home by offering panoramic skylight views. Whether it’s enjoying a summer sunset or brightening up a grey British day, roof lanterns make natural light a central feature.
Our lanterns are built with strong double glazing and deep internal bars, ensuring a durable structure that can span up to 3.2 x 6m without a tie bar. This slim design means homeowners benefit from uninterrupted views, creating a welcoming and social atmosphere—perfect for entertaining or relaxing evenings.
2.Exceptional Thermal Performance
Thermal efficiency is a top priority for many homeowners, and our Sheerline S1 roof lantern is designed with this in mind. It combines a slim, elegant profile with industry-leading performance.
Key thermal benefits include:
- Thermlock multi-chambered technology to retain heat and reduce energy bills.
- U-values as low as 1.0 W/(m²K), making them among the most efficient on the market.
- Slim sightlines that allow more natural light while keeping homes warm.
By improving insulation and reducing reliance on artificial lighting, our lanterns offer both comfort and energy savings.
3. Market-Leading Security Features
At Direct Roofing Systems, we understand that home security is just as important as style. Our roof lanterns are some of the most secure available, featuring:
- Anti-tamper glazing
- Security tape
- Patent-pending glass lock system
The innovative construction of the S1 roof lantern make is the UK’s most secure lantern. The S1 features anti-tamper screws, enclosed anti-tamper glazing, security tape and a patent pending glass lock, alongside a unique high security ridge end, ensure there isn’t an easy way to enter a property via its roof lantern.
For added peace of mind, homeowners can choose laminated glass upgrades or even optional Secured by Design upgrade, a police-backed scheme promoting safer building standards.
4. Bespoke Design Options
Every home is unique, and our roof lanterns can be tailored to suit individual tastes. Customers can choose from a wide variety of RAL colours, including classics such as White, Black, and Anthracite Grey.
Further personalisation options include:
- Different styles and configurations.
- LED lighting to create an inviting social space.
- Designs without tie bars for even clearer sky views.
This flexibility allows homeowners to achieve a bespoke look that perfectly complements their property.
