Posted at 11/16/23

We all want a beautiful and aesthetic home, but no homeowner wants to sacrifice their home's performance for the sake of style. A common misconception among homeowners is that a stylish roof lantern addition to their home wouldn't be as sturdy or hardwearing as a traditional solid roof. In fact, a roof lantern addition supplied and installed by My Bifold is just as strong and resilient as a solid roof. This article will explore the benefits of a roof lantern and its exceptional durability and resistance to adverse weather.

 

 

A roof lantern is a stunning glass roof feature that can be a flat roof addition or act as a replacement roof for a conservatory. This home improvement option allows natural light to flood the home, making a room drastically brighter and feel more spacious. The modern design of our roof lanterns not only offers a stylish, contemporary aesthetic to your home, but its up-to-date design allows it modern functionality to help keep your property protected.

At My Bifold, our aluminium lantern roofs consist of market leading design to ensure they stand in line with modern standards and protect you from the elements. Don't be fooled by our aluminium lantern roofs' sleek look and slim sightlines. With fewer and slimmer bars than other systems, our aluminium lantern roofs don't sacrifice strength. Despite the fewer bars, the aluminium profile delivers superior strength and rigidity, allowing the frame to securely hold expansive double glazing panels.

Our hardwearing aluminium design within our roof lanterns provides excellent structural strength. The contemporary double glazing is designed for impact resistance and tested to withstand torrential rain, high wind speeds and local snow loading. You can rest assured that with a stunning roof lantern from My Bifold, your home can look exceptional and perform exceptionally too.

You won't have to worry about bitterly cold winters that bring snow and inclement weather. Your home will remain cosy and dry thanks to our superbly strong aluminium roof lanterns.

 

 

The high performance of your roof will be accentuated by outstanding heat retention thanks to its thermally broken components which eliminate the risk of condensation. Our aluminium roof lanterns are 65% more thermally efficient than others on the market and feature an intelligent design that allows them to regulate heat effectively. Our lanterns utilise the vacuum spaced gaps between the 28mm standard double glazed glass of the roof lantern; it traps and retains the natural heat inside your home and prevents heat transfer. This means your home will remain warmer for longer and help you rely less on your central heating. You can save money on your energy bills by using less artificial heating while enjoying a more comfortable home.
