Stronger
Meticulously engineered to be the strongest and stiffest on the market, our roof lantern supports industry-leading maximum glass sizes without the need for additional rafters.
Thermally Efficient
The roof lantern is fully thermally broken. Outside aluminium elements are connected to the internal ones through thermal breaks, vastly reducing heat transfer.
Die-cast aluminium components
Because we use aluminium, our die cast components are made with greater accuracy and tighter tolerances that deliver superb weather resistance and thermal retention, low maintenance and breath-taking aesthetics.
Strongest on the market
Meticulously engineered to be the strongest and stiffest on the market, our roof lantern supports industry-leading maximum glass sizes without the need for additional rafters.
Victorian-inspired ridge and spas
Reminiscent of traditional timber structures, our roof lantern’s rafters and spas provide some of the narrowest sightlines available, ensuring you can enjoy a grander view.
Seamless aesthetics
With no visible fixings and seamless joints throughout, your roof lantern doesn’t just change the way your living space looks. It changes how it feels.

What is Ambi ‘self cleaning’ glass?
The Ambi range of self cleaning glass combines both self cleaning and solar control properties, making them highly desirable amongst homeowners looking for the ultimate in glass solutions. The coating that is applied to the glass breaks down organic dirt and by doing so reduces the adhesion of inorganic dirt. Water droplets are spread out to form a sheet and this picks up the loosened dirt particles as it drains off the surface. The result is remarkable and a difference you can actually see.
What does U Value mean?
Thermal transmittance, also known as U-value, is the rate of transfer of heat through the glass. It is measured as watts per square meter Kelvin or W/m²K. The better the insulation, the lower the U-value is.
Why does aluminium need to be thermally broken?
Aluminium like all metals is a conductor of heat. If our profiles weren’t thermally broken the inside heat would be wicked away and lost to the colder outside. By creating a profile assembled with polyamide sections between the inside and outside portions, the ‘thermal bridge’ is stopped. Polyamide is a glass filled plastic meaning it is an insulator and therefore there is virtually no conduction of heat through it.
What are the benefits of powder coat verses wet paint?
Powder coating provides better performance than wet paint—it is more resistant to chipping, scratching, and other wear because of the thermal bonding it undergoes during curing, and because it can be applied in much thicker layers. This performance is especially important for outdoor products, like aluminium glazed products.
In addition to its physical toughness, powder coating provides superior colour retention. Long term exposure to moisture, sunlight, and heat breaks down the resins found in both paint and powder coating. This process, known as chalking, causes resin and pigment particles to lose adhesion. Affected particles form a chalk-like layer on the coating surface.
The early stages of chalking merely give the coating a faded appearance, but severe chalking will eventually erode the coating enough to compromise surface protection. The rate of chalking depends on the resiliency of the resin. Polyester based powder coatings are frequently used as topcoats due to their exceptional chalk resistance.
Do I need a specialist trades person to install Korniche Roof Lanterns?
The Korniche lantern is a product that most people could competently undertake the installation of. It requires no specialist tools and everything goes together only one way. The Korniche bifolding door however, is a little bit more specialist and we recommend that a tradesperson with fitting experience of glazed products is used to ensure the best installation and performance is achieved.
Engineered for a grander view
Enjoy the most expansive views possible with industry-leading maximum sizes for your roof lantern, spanning up to 24m2.
Meticulously engineered to be the strongest and stiffest on the market, it supports more glass without the need for additional rafters, so you can welcome more of the outside world.
Thanks to its sturdy die-cast aluminium components and patented method of fixing the spas together, the Korniche roof lantern can span up to 3 meters by 2.5 meters for a single piece of glass per side, or up to a maximum roof space of 6 meters by 4 meters with intermediate rafters.
Bask in daylight and design
A modern take on the classic Victorian-era lantern roofs, the Korniche roof lantern comes in bespoke designs and a range of colours to transform your living space with light.
Reminiscent of traditional timber structures, its award-winning aluminium rafters and spas provide some of the narrowest sightlines available, with no visible fixings and seamless joints throughout.
Where the spas end, they are fitted with an aluminium die cast end cap sculpted to fit perfectly with no visible fixings, maintaining the beautiful aesthetics inside and out.
