Why Choose a Hardwood Roof Lantern? 

A hardwood roof lantern is a type of roof lantern made from hardwood timber, such as oak, mahogany, or ash. Hardwood timber is a natural, renewable resource that is more durable, stronger, and more weather-resistant than softwood timber. It is also a more expensive material than softwood timber.

Hardwood roof lanterns are a popular choice for homeowners who are looking for a long-lasting, high-quality, and aesthetically pleasing way to add natural light and ventilation to their homes. They are also a good option for homeowners who are looking for a modern or contemporary look for their roof lanterns.

Before you decide, it’s important to consider some of the drawbacks of hardwood:

  • More expensive: Hardwood timber is more expensive than softwood timber, which can make hardwood roof lanterns more expensive to purchase.
  • Requires more maintenance: Hardwood timber requires more maintenance than softwood timber, such as staining or painting.

Overall, hardwood roof lanterns are a good option for homeowners who are looking for a long-lasting, high-quality, and aesthetically pleasing way to add natural light and ventilation to their homes. However, it is important to be aware of the cost and maintenance requirements of hardwood timber before you make a decision.

Durable and Long-Lasting

Oak is a naturally durable wood that can withstand the elements. With proper care, your oak roof lantern will last for many years.  Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth from time to time to keep them looking their best.

Environmentally Friendly

Choosing Oak for your roof lantern not only enhances your home’s aesthetics but also reflects your commitment to sustainability. Oak is a renewable resource, making oak roof lanterns an eco-conscious choice of material for your living space. 

Contemporary Design

Typically, modern hardwood roof lanterns can be seen as part of the structure of orangeries and conservatories, although, in modern architecture they’re usually incorporated into a contemporary design, particularly in bigger properties where the middle of the house is lacking in natural light.

Elevated Living Space

Our oak roof lanterns elevate any living space. The oak will weather and age gracefully over time, only becoming more distinguished. Let an oak roof lantern lend your home lasting elegance and illumination for years to come.

Natural Light

Roof lanterns are a functional part of a home, as they allow natural light in where it would otherwise be difficult to integrate into a home or commercial property. The more light that enters a room, the less likely a person is to suffer from issues like seasonal affective disorder or depression.

Reduce Energy Consumption 

Roof lantern skylights, if strategically fitted, can also cut electricity bills down, especially in the summer months. Also, these structures offer full privacy, particularly when properties are built in close proximity to each other. They enable homeowners and workers to enjoy natural light streaming in without compromising on their privacy.

Ventilation 

Another benefit of roof lantern lights is their ability to ventilate a room as they normally have two panels which open much like a window. Since the air is coming from above, fumes from the street aren’t being blown directly into a property.

Quality of Oak

Oak wood is a time-honoured choice for furniture and cabinetry and equally well-suited for roof lanterns. Its rich grain patterns, warm hues, and inherent durability make it a visually stunning and enduring material. Oak’s natural resistance to moisture and weather conditions ensures that your roof lantern will stand the test of time, retaining its elegance for years to come.

Fixed Frame Oak Roof Lanterns

Fixed frame oak roof lanterns are the most common type of oak roof lantern. They have a frame that is permanently attached to the lantern, which makes them easier to install and more secure. Fixed frame lanterns also tend to be more airtight, which can help to improve the energy efficiency of your home.

Frameless Oak Roof Lanterns

Frameless oak roof lanterns are a more modern option. They do not have a frame, which gives them a sleeker look and allows for more natural light to enter your home. Frameless lanterns are also easier to clean, as there are no crevices or gaps for dirt to collect in.

Can Oak Roof Lanterns Add Value To Your Home?

Oak roof lanterns can add value to your home in several ways.

Increased curb appeal: Oak roof lanterns are a beautiful and stylish addition to any home, and they can help to make your property more appealing to potential buyers. The natural beauty of oak wood, combined with the clean lines of a lantern, can create a striking and sophisticated look that will set your home apart.

Improved energy efficiency: Oak roof lanterns can also help to improve the energy efficiency of your home. The wood’s natural insulation properties can help to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, which can save you money on your energy bills. Additionally, oak roof lanterns can help to reduce condensation, which can prevent damage to your windows and walls.

Added living space: Oak roof lanterns can also be used to create additional living space in your home. This can be especially beneficial if you are looking to add a home office, a playroom, or a guest room. Oak roof lanterns can also be used to extend existing living spaces, such as a kitchen or a living room.

Enhanced natural light: Oak roof lanterns allow natural light to flood into your home, making your living spaces brighter and more spacious. This can help to improve your mood, increase your productivity, and even boost your immune system.

Increased property value: In addition to the aesthetic and functional benefits, oak roof lanterns can also increase the property value of your home. Studies have shown that homes with oak roof lanterns tend to sell for more than homes without them.

Oak roof lanterns can add value to your home in a number of ways. If you are considering adding an oak roof lantern to your home, be sure to consult with a qualified professional, like us, to ensure that the work is done properly.

How Are Oak Roof Lanterns Made?

Designing and manufacturing oak roof lanterns require professional craftsmanship, and luckily, that’s what we do.

Here’s a quick overview of how we make our oak roof lanterns. 

  • Your oak roof lantern will be made using premium oak in our joinery after undergoing planning and CAD diagrams. 
  • The CNC machinery we use will manufacture to the exact MM ensuring your product is easy to assemble and meets the exact requirements at the outset.
  • Once the oak lantern has been manufactured, it’ll go through various refinery stages with our expert craftsmen team who will deal with the additional configuration and design of the lantern.
  • Once the lantern has been completed, it will be sent to our internal paint shop to be treated and painted using ultra high-quality farrow and ball microporous paints.
  • Our traditional roof lanterns are made using advanced manufacturing processes, but first, our designers / architectural and structural engineers construct the lantern in 3D using CAD to calculate structural integrity based on the features of the lantern.
  • Once the lantern design has been approved the manufacturing process begins. 
  • When the lantern has been completed and is ready to send out it is carefully wrapped and protected so that on delivery and installation no further painting is required.

How Much Do Oak Roof Lanterns Cost?
