Discover how aluminium roof lanterns can transform your home with natural light and modern style. Learn about frame colours, glass options, and the benefits of this stunning architectural feature.

✅ Why Aluminium Roof Lanterns Are the Ideal Upgrade for Light-Filled Living

Aluminium roof lanterns are a stylish and modern way to add height, natural light, and architectural impact to any flat roof space. Perfect for kitchen extensions, dining rooms, and open-plan living areas, they create a stunning centrepiece while improving energy efficiency and ventilation.

Thanks to the slim, thermally broken aluminium frames, roof lanterns allow for maximum glass surface and minimal framework — meaning more daylight, clearer sky views, and a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic. Built for performance as well as style, they are fully weatherproof, secure, and available in a range of custom colours and sizes.

🖌️ Popular Frame Colours for Aluminium Roof Lanterns

One of the biggest advantages of aluminium roof lanterns is the choice of durable, powder-coated frame colours that retain their finish for years. These finishes are resistant to fading, cracking, and corrosion, making them ideal for exposed roof installations.

Popular colour options include:

Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016): The modern favourite — bold, clean, and architectural
Jet Black (RAL 9005): A strong, sleek option for high-contrast or minimalist designs
White (Matt or Gloss): Crisp, bright, and perfect for enhancing the airy feel of your space
Slate Grey / Light Grey: Soft and subtle — adds warmth to modern interiors
Bronze / Corten / Metallics: Luxury finishes for a designer edge
Dual Colours: For example, grey outside and white inside — offering flexibility between external appearance and interior style
