Contemporary
Lantern
Our Contemporary range is our most popular. And it’s clear to see why. Apart from its exquisitely stylish slim profile, only hip rafters are used in this spectacular design, leaving all four planes completely clear, affording superior uninterrupted views.
SLIMMER
- 60% slimmer internal ridge than alternatives
- 38% slimmer internal hip than alternatives
- Over 50% lower external bulk
STRONGER
- Tested up to a uniformly distributed load of 3.5 KN/m2
- Structural ringbeam supplied with
Atlas lantern roof kits doesn’t rely on
the structural stability of the builders kerb on-site - Pressure plated system for extra security
SUPERIOR THERMAL PERFORMANCE
- Thermal break in rafters prevents
cold getting to the inside of the rafter - Industry leading ridge and rafter
U Values - U values in double glazing 1.2 W/m2K as standard and as low as 1.0 W/m2K on request
FITTER FRIENDLY
- No need for excess silicone at the connections to keep water out
- Ensures a fast high quality installation
DESIGN DETAIL – THE ARCHITECT’S CHOICE
- Roof proportionately correct with
ridge and hips all 40mm - Stock lantern pitch 25 degrees

Glass. More than meets the eye.
As standard, Atlas roof glass will be specified to combine heat reflection and thermal insulation. They utilise Low-E softcoats and Solar control combination coating, with warm edge spacers and argon gas filled cavity. This specification controls the amount of visible light, UV and heat that passes through the glazed unit. Destructive UV rays are reduced by up to 91% with the correct glass specification in. This helps in reducing fading of furniture and fabrics from sun damage. With self-cleaning technology as standard, our glass will require less maintenance.
Solar control glass
This intelligent glass reflects over 60% of the sun’s solar energy. This prevents conservatories and rooms with our Roof Lanterns from becoming unbearably hot in summer. Solar glare is reduced too, creating a beautifully ambient environment.
A combination of low emissivity inner glass and argon gas filling means the Atlas solar control glass reduces the thermal transmission by half compared to ordinary double glazing. This reduces energy costs and keeps glazed roof rooms warmer in winter.
Available in Self-Cleaning Solar Neutral and Self-Cleaning Solar Blue. Glass can be upgraded to Sunshield blue which reflects up to 82% of the sun’s solar energy. Triple glazing is available to improve centre pane U values down to 0.5W/m2k
Self-cleaning glass
Our Solar Blue and Solar Neutral Glass have a special self-clean coating with a microscopic film. Our self-cleaning glass helps daylight and rainwater break down, allowing dirt and grime to simply wash away.
The self-cleaning technology uses both rain and UV light from the sun to efficiently combat dirt and grime that accumulates on the outside of the window, reducing the need for manual cleaning.
Available in Self-Cleaning Solar Neutral and Self-Cleaning Solar Blue.
