Position & proportions
Consider the lantern’s relationship to your kitchen island, dining area and roof opening. Existing roofs need their structure and suitability checked.

Designed around daylight
A brighter outlook for your Essex home.
A roof lantern creates a striking glazed feature above a flat roof, opening up views of the sky and drawing daylight further into the room. Over a dining table, kitchen island or living area, it gives the space a natural focal point.
Spectrum Glazing helps homeowners in Colchester, Clacton-on-Sea and across Essex choose a lantern that works with their room, roof and renovation plans.

Good questions
Before you choose your roof lantern.
How much does a roof lantern cost?
The price depends on the size, lantern system, glazing, colour and work needed to prepare your roof. Share your project details for a tailored quotation with a clear installation scope.
Can you install a lantern in an existing flat roof?
It may be possible, subject to the roof’s structure, condition and available space. The opening, support, upstand and weatherproofing need assessment before a suitable solution can be confirmed.
What is the difference between a lantern and a flat rooflight?
A roof lantern has a raised, pitched glazed shape that creates an architectural feature. A flat rooflight has a lower profile. The best option depends on the appearance you want, the roof design and the space below.
Will a roof lantern make my room too hot?
Comfort depends on the amount and specification of glazing, the room’s orientation, shading and ventilation. We can discuss these factors and the glazing options available for your chosen system.
How long will installation take?
Timing depends on roof preparation, access, lantern size and the wider building work. We’ll confirm an installation programme for your project rather than promise a fixed timescale before assessing it.
Which areas do you cover?
