Ultrasky Roof Lanterns: Planning Your Kitchen Extension
An Ultrasky roof lantern can define the space above a kitchen or dining area. Plan its position alongside the furniture, lighting and roof structure, then configure the product using measurements checked by your installer.
Start with a room plan
Draw the island, dining table, tall units and walking routes first. A rooflight centred over the roof may sit awkwardly over the finished kitchen. Consider the view from the original house into the extension, and leave room for pendant lights and extract routes before the opening is agreed.
Review the proposed bar layout
Review the proposed lantern proportions and the glazing-bar arrangement for your dimensions. Product images and the designer model are illustrative; they do not replace the manufacturer’s final layout. Check how the raised profile relates to nearby windows and the roofline as well as how it looks from inside.
Discuss glass and finish together
Treat the internal finish, external finish and glass as separate choices. The designer offers the combinations currently available for online ordering. Compare the glazing information with the room’s orientation and other windows. A glass-only U-value is not the same measurement as a whole-product U-value.
Make the order easy to check
The Ultrasky designer asks for external kerb dimensions. Have your installer confirm the correct finished reference before entering them. Check whether you have selected glazing or an unglazed frame: glass is included only when selected. Review the full configuration, VAT and delivery before paying, and retain the specification for the delivery check.
