Our UK-based joinery is the heart of our operations, where the timeless beauty of hardwood meets the latest in design innovation. Here, every roof lantern is carefully constructed to ensure it meets our high standards of quality and aesthetics. We understand that a roof lantern is more than just a feature; it’s an integral part of your home or building, contributing to both its character and functionality.
Our hardwood roof lanterns are renowned for their elegance, strength, and longevity. By controlling every step of the manufacturing process in our UK joinery, we can guarantee that each lantern meets our exacting specifications and your personal requirements.
Whether you’re looking to enhance a traditional property or add a touch of classic elegance to a modern building, our Prestige Hardwood Roof Lanterns are the perfect choice, combining the best of British craftsmanship with timeless design.
At Prestige Roof Lanterns UK, we source our hardwood from FSC (forest stewardship council) which means that our wood is sourced in a responsible and eco-friendly way. Our hardwoods are cut and used in such a way to minimise any waste during product manufacture.
If you’re looking for an oak roof, then look no further. Every aspect of your lantern can be customised, from its shape and size to its architectural features, centrepieces, rafter styles, ornaments and finials, and more.
We also provide a colour matching service, or choose from a custom palette (giving you literally thousands of potential colours / shades) to ensure that your lantern fits your properties theme / style and existing features.
Because we manufacture and paint, we can even replicate styles on external windows, doors, conservatories, orangeries and more. If your lantern is a replacement lantern, we can also replicate existing designs (if the previous lantern is beyond repair).
All our lanterns and lantern components comply with building regulations / safety / thermal efficiency regulations. You’ll also get a five-year warranty on your lantern, plus, we’ll even offer discounts if you choose us for Windows, Doors, Conservatories, Orangeries, Bifold Doors or for additional lanterns.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”2661,2662″ img_size=”large” el_class=”image-large”][vc_column_text]
Hardwoods are durable woods which are sourced from dicot angiosperm trees. Hardwoods contain pores / vessels which allow the wood to breathe and, as such, makes the wood structure very different to that of softwoods.
Hardwoods are more popular in manufacturing than softwoods, however, not all hardwoods are as hard as softwoods as the name would imply.
When selecting materials for roof lanterns, the choice of hardwood offers numerous advantages that stem from its intrinsic properties.
Here are some key characteristics that make hardwood an ideal choice for roof lanterns:
Wood Density: Hardwoods are known for their high density, which translates into exceptional strength and durability. This density ensures that the roof lanterns can withstand various environmental factors over time, making them a long-lasting addition to any property.
Grain: The grain of hardwood is not only aesthetically pleasing, providing a unique and elegant look, but it also contributes to the wood’s stability. The distinct patterns in the grain can enhance the overall appearance of the roof lantern, adding a touch of natural beauty to the design.
Growth Pattern: Hardwoods typically have a slower growth rate, which results in a tighter grain structure. This tight grain provides additional strength and stability, making hardwood an excellent material for roof lantern construction.
Pore Sizes: The size and distribution of pores in hardwoods affect their texture and appearance. These pores also play a role in the wood’s breathability and its ability to adapt to changes in humidity, which is crucial for maintaining the shape and integrity of the roof lantern over time.
Flexibility: Despite their strength, some hardwoods possess a degree of flexibility, which is essential in the construction of roof lanterns. This flexibility allows for slight natural movements, accommodating changes in temperature and humidity without compromising the structure.
In addition to these characteristics, many hardwoods have a unique honeycomb-like structure at the microscopic level. This fascinating structure not only provides the wood with a degree of flexibility but also allows air to permeate through it. This breathability is vital for maintaining a balanced moisture content within the wood, preventing warping and ensuring the longevity of the roof lantern.
The combination of these properties makes hardwood an outstanding material for roof lanterns. Its natural strength, beauty, and durability, coupled with its ability to adapt to environmental changes, make it a superior choice for those seeking a blend of elegance, longevity, and practicality in their roofing solutions.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”2658,2659″ img_size=”large” el_class=”image-large”][vc_column_text]
Below are examples from our hardwood roof lantern gallery. These are lanterns that have been designed and manufactured in our joinery and installed on customer properties.
Categorising wood as either a hardwood or softwood comes down to its physical make-up and build. It’s no surprise many people assume hardwoods are solid and durable compared to soft and workable softwoods.
Generally, this is true, however, there are exceptions, for example in the case of wood from yew trees, it’s a softwood that’s relatively hard and wood from balsa trees which is also a hardwood that’s softer than softwoods.
As a general rule however, hardwoods tend to be denser than softwoods and are typically tougher and more weather resistant.
Our hardwoods are hand-picked for quality, to ensure that the product and its lifespan are extended as much as possible. Hardwoods come from broad-leaved, deciduous trees.
The main hardwood materials are:
We manufacture roof lanterns in a variety of hardwoods, but mainly oak and timber. We can also manufacture softwoods such as pine.
Hardwood is sometimes cheaper and chosen for its appearance and lifespan once treated.
However, with deforestation being excessive over the last decade, wood prices have increased, as such, many product manufacturers and joineries use veneers bonded to a core of softwood which reduces the level of hardwood required for manufacture.
Hardwood is a multipurpose group of woods, popular in manufacturing for furniture, structures, orangeries, conservatories and more.
Hardwood in numerous cases is now ‘engineered’, which means that it contains quite a few layers of timber fused together. As a result, this enhances solidity and strength.
Hardwood, such as Sapele, is perfect for roof lanterns, as it’s incredibly durable, resilient, not to mention dense in its makeup – and strong as a result.
We use Sapele for all our opaque-painted and dark coloured translucent-stained roof lanterns. For lighter stain colours, we use Idigbo hardwood. This is a hardwood which is lighter in colour and can look similar to oak when stained. We can also use Oak (at additional cost) if required.
We use the finest, high grade FSC sourced hardwoods to manufacture our lanterns. Each piece of wood goes through expert CNC machining and is finished off by a craftsman who ensures complete quality control. Each lantern then undergoes painting in our workshop using farrow & ball microporous paints. We supply lanterns in a standard white primer if no paint colour is chosen.
Our joinery treats the wood and paints it using microporous paints which allow the wood to breathe. The treatment process prevents the hardwood from allowing bacteria, microorganisms, spores and other life forms to grow.
The porous element of hardwood is typically what causes hardwood structures to rot and to require high levels of maintenance, however, it is today’s modern chemical treatment procedures that almost completely stop and prevent these issues. Please note that minor maintenance will be required when opting for these wooden roof lanterns.
