ALUMINIUM WINDOWS AND DOORS
Sky lights are they right for your project?
Choosing between a flat sky light and a pyramid roof lantern
Design
While flat sky lights may seem more suited to modern structures with their sleek, clean lines and contemporary frames, UltrSky roof lanterns offer a modern style that can rival sky lights. However, sky lights have the advantage of not being visible from the garden and not blocking upper windows. On the other hand, flat sky lights offer a more minimalistic and modern style with a clear view of the sky and the outside, while UltrSky roof lanterns feature beams that add architectural interest with elegant, thin aluminum frames.
Insulation
Both sky lights and roof lanterns can have effective insulation, but lanterns have traditionally had weaker insulation due to seams between the glass panes. A flat sky light has a single connection, which provides better insulation. However, UltrSky roof lanterns offer excellent heat retention with a thermally sealed edge and low U-value to maintain room temperature.
Pricing
Flat sky lights tend to be cheaper per square meter, but the difference is not substantial. The price between the two options is not the deciding factor, but rather the quality of the product and installation. Our roof lanterns are made to measure and assembled on-site, making them a unique option.
