What are lantern roofs?
Lantern roofs are essentially a type of skylight, but with a more pronounced architectural presence. They are typically raised structures with glazed sides, allowing light to enter from multiple angles. This design not only maximises natural light but also creates a sense of openness and space. Historically, lantern roofs have been used in various forms since the Middle Ages. They were initially developed to provide light to large, dark spaces such as churches and halls. Over time, their design has evolved, incorporating modern materials and techniques to improve their functionality and durability.
Here at Three Counties, we offer a range of lantern roofs that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Our lantern roofs are designed to be energy efficient, secure, and visually stunning, making them a perfect addition to any Windsor home.
About our Lantern Roofs
Lantern roofs offer numerous benefits, making them a worthwhile investment for any homeowner. They significantly increase the amount of natural light entering a room, reducing the need for artificial lighting and creating a bright, welcoming atmosphere. Aesthetically, lantern roofs can enhance the appeal of any property. Their elegant design adds a touch of sophistication and can be customised to complement the existing architecture of your home. In terms of energy efficiency, lantern roofs are an excellent choice. They help to regulate the temperature within a room, reducing the need for heating and cooling systems and ultimately lowering energy bills.
There may come a time when you need to replace your existing roof lantern. Whether due to wear and tear or a desire for a new look, replacement roof lanterns can breathe new life into your home. The process of replacing a roof lantern involves careful planning and execution to ensure a seamless transition.

We can provide and install conservatory roof lanterns, ensuring a perfect fit and finish for your home.

We work with Atlas to offer beautiful lantern roofs that allow sunlight to flood your space. One of the primary functions of a lantern roof is to enhance the natural light in a property.

At Three Counties, we design our lantern roofs to maximise brightness, using high quality glazing and strategic placement to ensure optimal light penetration. Our roof lanterns are engineered with 40mm rafters to offer large glass panels and slimline bars.
