All your Roof Lantern questions answered!

All your Roof Lantern questions answered!

A roof lantern from National Plastics could be just what you need to create that light, airy, stylish space you’ve always dreamed of. But before you decide, you probably have a few questions. Here we’ve answered a few queries that we get asked regularly – hopefully they may help you.

What glazing options are available?

There are myriad glazing options to choose from. National Plastics offers two glazing choices – neutral and blue. However, you can decide to buy your roof lantern unglazed, which allows you to source your glass from a different supplier, so the possibilities really are endless!

Can I choose a different colour for the inside of my roof lantern to the outside?

Of course! Our aluminium lantern roof is available in a black, white, or grey external finish, with either a white or grey internal finish. Whilst our PVCu roof lantern comes in either grey or white for both the internal and external finishes.

This means your roof lantern can complement the outside of your home by harmonising with your existing window and door frames, whilst still blending beautifully with your kitchen, dining or living room.

How do you determine the design of my roof lantern?

The design of your National Plastics roof lantern will depend on its size. However, all our roof lanterns are made to measure using the least number of bars possible. This makes for a sleek, clean finish which lets in all the light and minimises shade.

How big or small can my roof lantern be?

As our roof lanterns are made to measure, we can usually accommodate most requests. To find out more you can call 0800 22 77 77 to speak to one our experts or you can enter the size of your desired roof lantern into our quotation request form to find out if we’re able to help. Why not take a look at our roof lantern gallery to see if there are any similar designs to your desired roof lantern?

Where do I measure for my roof lantern?

It is easy to measure for your new roof lantern using our step-by-step measuring guide. The most important thing to remember is to measure the external dimensions of your roof space – this will help us provide the most accurate quote.

Once you have entered your details, they will be sent to our customer services team who will provide a personalised quote and further information and then, if you’re happy with the quotation provided, your nearest branch will order your roof lantern and ensure that it is delivered to you following production.

How long does it take to get a quote?

Not long at all! We hope you will receive a quote within 24 hours of your request.

Will you deliver my roof lantern?

We will! Once you have chosen your dream roof lantern, we will work with your local branch to ensure it is delivered on time.

Does your price include fitting?
