Whether you’re a homeowner planning a stunning extension or a trade installer sourcing reliable products, roof lanterns offer a transformative way to flood interiors with natural light while adding architectural flair. With sleek lines, thermal efficiency, and fast installation, today’s roof lanterns are more than just a design feature—they’re a smart investment.
In this guide, we’ll explore two standout options: the Sheerline S1 and the Eurocell Skypod. Each brings unique benefits to the table, helping you choose the right fit for your next project
Sheerline S1: Precision Meets Performance
The Sheerline S1 is a premium aluminium roof lantern designed with innovation at its core. Engineered for strength and style, it’s ideal for high-end residential builds and discerning trade professionals.
Key Features:

Eurocell Skypod: Versatile and Cost-Effective
The Eurocell Skypod is a uPVC roof lantern that balances affordability with performance. It’s a favourite among trade suppliers of roof lanterns thanks to its ease of installation and broad appeal.
Key Features:
- Multiple Configurations: Available in square, two-bar, and three-bar designs to suit a variety of roof shapes and sizes.
- Thermal Performance: U-values as low as 1.0 W/m²K help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round.
- No Ridge Needed: For smaller sizes, the Skypod’s ridge-free design enhances aesthetics and simplifies fitting.
- Colour Options: A wide range of frame colours, including anthracite grey and white, allows for seamless integration with existing décor.
Ideal for budget-conscious homeowners or fast-paced trade projects, the Skypod offers reliable performance with minimal fuss.
Choosing the Right Lantern
When selecting a roof lantern, consider the following:
- Material: Aluminium (Sheerline S1) offers a more premium finish and strength; uPVC (Skypod) is cost-effective and low-maintenance.
- Thermal Efficiency: Both options provide excellent insulation, but Sheerline’s Thermlock® system gives it an edge in colder climates.
- Design Preferences: For ultra-modern aesthetics, the S1’s slim sightlines shine. For traditional or varied roof shapes, Skypod’s flexibility is a plus.
- Installation Time: Both are designed for quick fitting.
Final Thoughts
Roof lanterns elevate any space—bringing in light, enhancing design, and improving energy performance. Whether you’re a homeowner dreaming of a brighter kitchen or a trade installer seeking reliable, stylish solutions, both the Sheerline S1 and Eurocell Skypod deliver.
