Elevate Lantern Roof
Frosted glass option offers enhanced privacy without reducing natural light
Easy installation and ordering in kit form
Highly customisable with wide range of colour combinations

Lantern roofs are a popular option for many homeowners wishing to create a sense of space with an abundance of natural light. And for those with smaller properties in close proximity to their neighbours, there are options available that enhance privacy.

Homeowner Joanne Smith says, “My husband and I were planning renovations to our extension, but because we live in a small, semi-detached house we wanted to make sure the neighbours couldn’t look down into the room from next door.”

Joanne turned to Eco Window Systems looking for a solution, and the Hinckley-based conservatory and glazed extension specialist recommended Liniar’s Elevate lantern roof glazed with frosted glass.

Joanne explains, “There were various textures and types of frosting, but we just wanted opaque for complete privacy. At first, we thought this might reduce the amount of light coming into the room, which is one of the biggest benefits of having a lantern roof.

 

We needn’t have worried though! Since the roof’s been fitted, we receive tons more sunlight into the room and we’re finding we don’t use the lights as much which is saving us money on our energy bills!

 

Easy Ordering and Installation

Elevate lantern roofs come in kit form with everything needed for a smooth, problem-free installation.

Eco Window Systems director Tim Moore describes why the company chooses Elevate: “We enjoy working with Liniar products since the design and build quality is always second to none. The customer service is also exceptional and the kit format for the Elevate lantern roof system makes ordering easy.

“Liniar has gained a reputation for manufacturing products that are easy to work with, which is great for fitters, but it also means we can minimise disruption to our customers’ lifestyles by getting work done quickly without compromising our standards.”

Joanne confirms, “The installation took less than a day, and we’re really happy with the result. It looks beautiful and we’re very impressed with the workmanship that’s been delivered.”

Versatile and Highly Customisable

With kit sizes up to 2.4 x 5.4m and a square version available, Elevate is suitable for a wide range of situations. Customers can personalise their roof, with 36 colour combinations, glazing options including solar controlled, tinted or opaque – all with low lead times of just five working days.

With an elegant design featuring slim sightlines for maximum natural light and Liniar’s revolutionary weather dam for superior protection from the elements, the Elevate lantern roof system looks stunning and delivers superb performance. Being covered by Liniar’s 10-year guarantee, Elevate provides peace of mind for both homeowners and installers.

Warm in the Winter Cool in the Summer

Liniar specialises in manufacturing thermally efficient, multi-chambered profiles, such as the EnergyPlus twin-walled top caps which are included with every Elevate kit. Based on a sturdy aluminium structure, the combination ensures a strong, robust fit, maximum expanses of glass and the ultimate in thermal performance.

Installers can assure their customers that choosing an Elevate lantern roof will help maintain a comfortable, year-round ambient temperature, reducing the need for powered heating and cooling.
