Frequently Asked Questions About Korniche Roof Lanterns
Do roof lanterns need planning permission?
In most cases, no. Roof lanterns fall under permitted development provided they do not extend more than 150mm above the existing roof slope. Listed buildings and conservation areas may need approval. Vitrum Solutions can advise during your free survey.
How much do roof lanterns cost?
Korniche roof lanterns typically cost between £2,500 and £6,000 installed, depending on size and specification. Vitrum Solutions provides free quotes across Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Surrey.
Are roof lanterns better than skylights?
Roof lanterns sit above the roofline on a raised frame, creating a more dramatic architectural feature and drawing in light from multiple angles. Skylights sit flush with the roof. The Korniche system offers the slimmest aluminium frame on the market for maximum glass area.
Do roof lanterns make a room too hot?
Modern roof lanterns use solar control glass and thermally broken frames to manage heat gain. The Korniche system can be specified with blue or neutral solar control glass to keep rooms comfortable year round.
What size roof lantern do I need?
Roof lantern size depends on your flat roof area and the amount of light you want. The Korniche system is available in a wide range of sizes. Vitrum Solutions will measure and recommend the right size during your free home survey.
