Love at First Light

Elevate Lantern Roof by Liniar

Lush woodlands and open plan living captured the hearts of homeowners Mike and Diana when they first saw their property in Cheshire. Soon after moving in, they realised their living space needed more light – and they began the process of researching their options.

While the couple would have loved to add a conservatory onto their home, the rear garden only offered limited space and wasn’t a feasible option. That’s when the couple came across images of the Liniar Elevate lantern roof on a property in Derbyshire on Twitter.

Mike explains, “The rear of our property has a flat roof and after seeing the pictures of the Elevate lantern, we were already day dreaming of one over our kitchen.

“When we contacted a local Liniar installation company, we were told that Elevate came in both a traditional rectangle, but also in a modern square version – offering us the opportunity to have not one but two over our living space. Elevate would not only bring in some much needed natural light but is also simply stunning.

“With fitters already having prepared our roof for the installation, we decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and get our bi-fold fitted at the same time, to cut down on disruption at home. Our local Liniar fabricator provided us with a bi-fold that not only matched our Elevate lantern roofs in 7016 Grey perfectly but also matched our grey flush sash windows exactly. The installation of the roofs and bi-fold have given our house a modern, beautiful finish.”

Installation

Installing the Elevate lantern roofs takes as little as 30 minutes once the roof is prepared for installation. Preparation is what takes the time for fitters – and for this property one team was working on each Elevate roof, while a third installed the ModLok™ bi-fold door.

Mike gives us his first impression of the Elevate roof:

“As Elevate was being installed it was very interesting to watch. It went together faster than I thought possible and the team worked as if they were a machine. Everything fell into place perfectly and they didn’t have to measure, cut, measure, cut. Everything with the Elevate kit was an exact fit for our roof, it was just an incredibly smooth process.”

Customer feedback

“One of our only concerns with the installation of lantern roofs was the amount of heat that would be coming through them in the summer, as well as potential heat loss in the winter. The installation of our Elevate roofs was right in the middle of a span of very warm weather, upwards of 35C and the first thing we noticed is that there wasn’t that stifling heat of the sun coming through the roof’s glass. It was a breath of fresh air that the house remained relatively cool – at least not any warmer than it would have been without the new lantern roofs, and so much lighter!

“A few weeks after installation we hosted a BBQ at our house. All our visitors said how beautiful the roofs and doors were and wanted them in their own homes. I think Liniar and its network of roof installation companies will be busy for quite some time with this one. Everyone who sees it immediately wants one in their house. Gone are the days of the bulky, old-style lantern roofs – with its vast expanses of glass and slimline bars, Elevate brings an air of sophistication to the lantern roof market.”
