Make overhead daylight part of the design
Roof lanterns and skylights can bring light into a Manningtree extension or garden room. Our Wix project features two lanterns over a kitchen-dining space, with progress photographs showing how the roof openings and interior reveals developed.

Position the opening with the room below
A lantern can mark out a dining area, while a flat rooflight offers a different visual effect. Think about the direction of light, glare on work surfaces and access for cleaning. The opening, supporting detail and surrounding roof finish need to be designed together.

A question worth asking
Should I choose a lantern or a flat skylight?
A lantern creates a raised glazed feature; a flat skylight offers a different, more restrained appearance. The roof construction, desired look and daylight needs help determine the suitable options.
A project near Manningtree
From an old lean-to to a kitchen-dining orangery in Wix
Our Wix project combined insulated hup! walls, a flat roof with two glazed lanterns and five-panel aluminium bifold doors. The old lean-to was removed and the new room connected the kitchen with the garden.
Explore the finished space and the construction photographs to see the walling, roof, glazing, render and interior finishes develop. This is a completed Spectrum Glazing project in Wix, near Manningtree.
