Roof Lanterns Manchester | John Knight Glass

Roof Lanterns, South Manchester

Supply and installation of a number of pitched roof lanterns to a private residence in South Manchester. Looking to create the perfect family residence the homeowners had decided to build a new orangery and outdoor dining/entertaining area complete with silent disco.

We worked with the main contractor to supply and install 4 pitched aluminium roof lanterns across the two buildings. The roof lanterns featured electric venting windows which can be opened and closed by a utilising a switch on the wall. Finished in RAL 7016 anthracite grey the roof lantern blends in with both the pitched slate and flat roof perfectly.

The outdoor entertaining area features a full commercial catering kitchen, pizza oven, sunken seating area with fireplace and a large dining area. The roof has been vaulted internally with the roof light at the apex, flooding the space with light and adding to the feeling of space, designed to enable outdoor entertaining year round we really love this space.

With this being such a large building and renovation project timescales where important and our installation teams have lots of experience working on this type of project. We worked closely with the project managers to ensure our installation teams where on site when required to fit the roof lanterns.

If you are looking for a glazing partner to work on larger projects like this please feel free to get in touch with our sales team, we are always available to help with tendering on new projects.
