HOW IT WORKS

From your plans to a finished lantern.

We can help you choose the appropriate roof lantern and coordinate the supply and fitting requirements for your project.

01

Tell us about your project.

Send photographs or drawings of the proposed roof opening, together with approximate width and length measurements.

02

Confirm the specification.

We'll discuss the suitable lantern layout, colour, glazing and dimensions, then prepare your quotation.

03

Supply & fitting.

Once the builder has prepared a suitable structural opening and upstand, we can arrange the agreed lantern installation.

Important: HI Q WINDOWS does not undertake the roof construction or structural building work. The builder is responsible for the roof opening, suitable upstand, structural support and associated roofing works. These arrangements must be confirmed before installation.

HELPFUL INFORMATION

Frequently asked questions.

What is a roof lantern?

A roof lantern is a glazed structure fitted above a roof opening to bring natural daylight into the room below. They are especially popular on flat-roof extensions.

Are aluminium roof lanterns insulated?

The Stratus system uses thermally broken aluminium profiles to reduce heat transfer through the frame. Overall performance also depends on the glazing and installation specification.

What colours are available?

Popular options include Anthracite Grey and White, with dual-colour finishes available for suitable configurations.

How large can my roof lantern be?

The original system information includes configurations reaching up to 3m × 6m. The maximum permitted dimensions depend on the chosen layout and project requirements.

Do you build the roof opening?

No. Your builder must prepare the suitable structural opening, upstand and roofing works. HI Q WINDOWS can quote for the roof lantern supply and agreed fitting work.

Can I request a supply-only quotation?

Yes. Please send us the proposed dimensions, drawings or photographs, preferred colour and layout. We can review your requirements for a supply-only quotation.
