What is the rafter width on your roof lanterns?

We specialise in minimalist design. Our aluminium roof lanterns feature ultra-slim 40mm rafters, which maximise the glass area and create a clean, contemporary look without bulky internal supports.

Is self-cleaning glass included as standard?

We highly recommend self-cleaning, solar-control glass for all roof installations. This helps to reduce maintenance and prevents your room from overheating during the summer months.

Are your roof lanterns thermally broken?

Yes. To prevent condensation and heat loss, all our lantern systems are fully thermally broken. This ensures they remain a high-performance part of your home envelope year-round.

Aluminium Roof Lanterns & Skylights

Roof Lanterns

Flood your home with natural light using thermally broken aluminium lanterns

Add height, volume, and light to your flat-roof extension. Our architectural aluminium lanterns feature ultra-slim rafters and high-performance glass for year-round comfort.

A roof lantern is the ultimate finishing touch for a modern orangery, kitchen extension, or flat-roof renovation. By channeling natural light from above, our aluminium lanterns transform dull spaces into bright, airy environments. They are the perfect partner to our bi-folding doors, creating a consistent, light-filled aesthetic throughout your home.

At Indus Aluminium, we manufacture our lanterns using a dedicated architectural system that minimises the visual bulk of the roof. The 40mm slimline rafters ensure you see more sky and less metal, while the structurally bonded construction provides incredible strength against wind and snow loads.

Energy efficiency is built-in. Our lanterns feature a thermally broken eaves beam and high-performance glazing that reflects excessive solar heat in summer while retaining warmth in winter. This makes your room comfortable to use 365 days a year. You can read more about the benefits of energy-efficient glazing on the Glass & Glazing Federation website.
