Lantern Roof Prices – An Overview

15th January 2018 by Northwest Bifolds

A contemporary lantern roof is a fantastic enhancement in your home, giving you a minimalist aluminium roof that looks fantastic when you look up from the inside and brings a new dimension to your home from the outside. Lantern roofs are ideal for your new kitchen, lounge, bedroom or orangery. In this article, we explain the factors that can affect Lantern roof prices, and how you can save money.

lantern roof cost

What affects lantern roof prices?

Aluminium lantern roofs differ slightly from windows, doors, sliding or folding doors because you have the option to select standard sizes.  Having pre-defined prices on a matrix makes working out how much a lantern roof costs slightly easier. However, there are still several factors that can affect the price.

Lantern roof sizes.

The size of your new lantern roof will affect the price. The smallest lantern roof starts at about 750mm x 750mm and can go up to 3m x 3m. Therefore sizes depend on the overall size of your roof and how many roof bars you want.

The more aluminium in a lantern roof, the higher the price is likely to be. At Northwest Bifolds, our Atlas aluminium lantern roof is available in a minimalist appearance with just four roof bars and the ridge bar, or we can offer more complex designs and shapes.

Adding fixed windows below your lantern roof will also add to the cost.

Glass type and specification.

One of the biggest benefits of a lantern roof is the glazed element to the roof of your extension or orangery. As standard, you can expect double glazed toughened glass in a lantern roof but there are also other glass options and accessories.

The price of your new lantern roof will change if you wish to have, self-cleaning glass, specific sun-control glass, triple glazing or glass with blinds.

Lantern roof colours.

Aluminium is best for lantern roofs thanks to its near-endless colour choice. One way of saving money on a new aluminium lantern roof is to choose a standard colour. These are stock colours for lantern roofs typically black, white or grey.

Should you wish to choose a different colour for your roof or even mix the colours with different colour roof bars and cappings, this will add to the cost of the roof.

The lantern roof location and installation.

Lantern roofs are designed to be simple to install, but there are areas where extra profiles, trims and accessories may be required. A good example is roofs at high-level that may require specialist access to fit them safely. We can price your roof lantern from your architect drawings, but we always recommend a home or site survey to give you the most accurate quotation.

The lantern roof cost can also be affected by whether it is being installed into a new opening or where one is being created in an existing roof.

Lantern roof ventilation.

One consideration for your new extension is ventilation. Many homeowners choose a fixed lantern roof, others like the option of having opening lights within it.

The fitting of opening roof vents will add to the lantern roof cost as will the choice of manual, automatic or sensor controlled operation.

North West Bifolds have recently installed 2 sets of bifold doors and a window in our kitchen. We are absolutely delighted; if we could score 10 stars then we would.The customer service we received at all stages was superb; from initial contact, through measuring up and the quote, to actual fitting and finishing off.The doors etc. are made by a company called Origin. If you visit their website and read customer reviews, you'll discover that Origin are leaders in the market. The materials are real quality and look great.North West Bifolds are one of Origin's preferred suppliers; who offer very competitive quotes. You won't be disappointed. So, in summary, you won't go far wrong if you trust North West Bifolds to supply and fit your next replacement windows and doors.

We would highly recommend Steve and his company who are professional, reliable, courteous and efficient. He came to our home to discuss our requirements at some length. Once we had decided on bifolds with integral blinds, and the frame and blind colours, everything went very smoothly. Steve fitted our doors and windows in one day, with no hassle or fuss, and the results are absolutely amazing! Thanks!

Big thanks to Steve and his crew for doing such a fantastic job. Fitted new windows and bifolds to our new extension as well as replacing all the existing windows to our cottage. Excellent service from the start giving help with selection and quotes. Really quick turnaround for bespoke windows and installation started next day after delivery. Had a few issues with the old window openings when our tired hardwood windows were removed, but Steve took all this in his stride! We couldn't of had worse weather during the insulation but this didn't stop any of the work, a really dedicated team.The quality of the Origin widows is exceptional, we went for the walnut finish and we are really pleased how it all looks. We would certainly recommend NorthWest Bifolds ... very friendly and easy to work with!

My bifolds that were installed by the previous house owner had broken. With one quick email to Steve he was round the next morning and had them fixed right away. He even made them work better than they had done before! Excellent honest and knowledgable service. He went above and beyond as was only happy when they worked perfectly! Could not recommend enough.

We did a good amount of research before getting our bifolds. Steve was by far the most knowledgeable of everyone we saw. We visited the Origin department in Warrington, and even they said they never have any problems with Steve's installation.Always been honest, accurate and reliable. Would definitely recommend him.

Well what can we say about these guys?About 18 months ago we had an extension built and we called Steve @ NW Bi folds to fit our doors with integral blinds fitted inside the glass.For the first 16 months the blinds were great until they became somewhat stiff and hard to use.We contacted Steve and he was out to inspect them straight away, After we and Steve had contacted integral blinds to raise are concerns not much was done,they at integral tried to put the blame on NW Bifolds or anyone else for that matter. Integral blinds must have the worst customer service we have ever come across, and as far as they are concerned our blinds still don't work properly. Now as for Steve and his son,they took it a lot more seriously and sorted our problem, Steve contacted another of his suppliers Hi Tec blinds, payed for and fitted at our new blinds at his own expense. That's what you call customer service .Well done NW Bifolds you went above and beyond your duty,Quality through experience.

I had my windows fitted 2 years ago by this company excellent service and quality. I have returned again to have my front door replaced. After an excellent consultation and a visit to the showroom we decided to have an Endurance solid secure door along with the ring CCTV door bell fitted. The options to customise your own door are excellent. Once again superb work completed. Highly recommend this company for their windows and doors. From beginning to end the company is professional,honest, trustworthy and extremely proud of their work. They are a great team of fitters who get the job done and are very clean and tidy to. Extremely happy customer thanks again .
