Imagine stepping into your renovated kitchen or newly built single-storey extension where natural light bathes every corner of the room, creating an ambience that feels both fresh and inviting. This is the transformative power of the Crystal Anthracite Aluminium Skylight Roof Lantern.
The frame's exterior is fitted with external cappings and coated in a protective anthracite grey powder-coated finish that will blend seamlessly with dark external features on your home's exterior, such as slate roof tiles. Inside, a pristine white finish effortlessly complements your white ceilings, creating a modern, sleek design that adds a touch of style without overwhelming your space.
Featuring Blue Self Clean Toughened Roof Glass, a low-maintenance glazing solution that ensures a crystal-clear view of the sky above, this skylight is not just about aesthetics. It also offers outstanding performance, boasting a design that is more thermally efficient than conventional aluminium roof systems. With a thermally broken system and U Value of 2.2 W/m²K, your flat roof lantern keeps your home cool in the summer months and warm and cosy during the cooler winter months.
The benefits don't stop there. By allowing natural light to fill your space, it significantly reduces the need for artificial lighting. This not only saves on energy bills but also transforms your rooms, making them feel brighter, more spacious, and inviting.

Question:
I think the UK Future Homes Standard 2025 requires a U-value of 1.5 W/m²K for roof windows and 1.2 for rooflights. Is this product therefore unsuitable for use in new buildings and in extensions to existing buildings - as it is being described as: "A thermally broken system and has a U Value of 2.2 W/m²K"
Answer:
You're correct in noting that the Crystal Anthracite Aluminium Skylight Roof Lantern has a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K. U-values measure how well a product prevents heat from escaping a building or structure. The lower the U-value, the better the insulation provided by the product. As for whether this product is suitable for new builds or extensions, it's important to bear in mind that regulations may vary depending on a variety of factors, including the location of the build and the specific application of the product. Compliance with the Future Homes Standard will also involve considerations beyond the U-value of individual components, as the standard takes a holistic view of energy performance. Therefore, while the U-value of this skylight is higher than the figures you've mentioned, it doesn't necessarily mean the product is unsuitable for your project. It's best to consult with a building professional or your local building control body to understand all the requirements of your specific project. If you need more information about the product, you can refer to the product page on our website or the installation guide for detailed instructions.
