Lanterns Direct |

Are you considering skylight installation to brighten up your home? Adding a skylight is an excellent way to enhance natural light, improve energy efficiency, and boost the aesthetic appeal of your space. In this guide, we'll explore the key benefits of installing skylights, along with essential tips and our exclusive product features that ensure you get the most out of this exciting home improvement.

Why Install Skylights?

  • Natural light

    Skylights are a fantastic source of natural light.

    By strategically placing skylights in certain areas of your home, such as dark hallways or bathrooms, you can dramatically increase the brightness and make small spaces appear larger.

  • Energy efficiency

    Our modern skylights are not only stylish but also designed with your home's energy efficiency in mind. Featuring triple-glazed glass, these skylights help reduce your reliance on artificial lighting, cutting down on electricity bills and conserving energy.

  • Aesthetic value

    Skylights add a unique element to your home’s design, creating an inviting atmosphere and potentially increasing your property's market value. Plus, with a 25-year warranty on our skylights, you can invest with confidence knowing your home improvement is protected for the long term.

Choosing the Right Skylight

Selecting the right skylight design and features is crucial for maximising benefits:

  • Framed and Frameless Designs: Whether you prefer the sleek look of frameless skylights or the robust structure of framed models, we have options to suit every taste. Both are available for flat and pitched roofs, ensuring a perfect fit for any home architecture.
  • Glazing options: Our triple-glazed skylights improve thermal efficiency and reduce UV exposure, ideal for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.
  • Shading solutions: We offer shading options, such as manual and electric blinds, allowing you to control the amount of sunlight entering your home seamlessly.

Installation Tips

  • Professional installation: To avoid common issues like leaks, it’s important to hire experienced professionals for skylight installation. We provide installation kits for our frameless skylights, ensuring a perfect fit and hassle-free setup. Additionally, we provide a detailed installation guide to assist you or your contractor with the installation process.
  • Location: Placement is key to optimising light and maintaining energy efficiency. North-facing skylights provide constant but cool illumination, while south-facing installations offer more thermal gain.

Custom Options

We understand that every home is unique. That's why we offer custom skylights and blinds to perfectly match your specific needs and preferences. Whether you need a special size, shape, or feature, we can help bring your vision to life.

Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance extends the life of your skylights. Clean the glass seasonally to remove debris and enhance light transmission. Inspect seals and flashing annually to prevent water damage.

Investing in skylights can transform your home by bringing in natural light, improving air quality, and enhancing your decor. With our top-quality materials, custom options, and expert support, you’re sure to enjoy the full advantages of your skylight.
