Case Study: Tilehurst Roof Lantern Installation

It’s time for another case study. This month at Reading Trade Windows, we want to highlight a roof lantern installation we were involved in. Our colleagues at Abbey Windows were approached by a gentleman interested in changing the roof of his extension. The project was just down the road from us in Tilehurst, and when the customer decided on a new roof lantern, we were more than happy to help supply and install one. 

Mr Bell was having trouble with the light in his extension. He was an avid reader and liked to relax with the latest bestseller, but the room wasn’t bright enough, and he didn’t want to spend too much money by having the lights permanently switched on. He’d never considered a roof lantern, but it seemed like a natural choice when we found out his needs. 

Installing A New Aluminium Roof Lantern

We supply innovative aluminium roof lanterns across Reading and the surrounding areas. The one that Mr Bell chose was a classic example. It was one of the smaller variants, but the increased glazing area captures natural light beautifully. We positioned it centrally where the blue solar glass blended with the slate rooftop. The sleek profile gave it a stylish, modern aesthetic, and he was delighted with the finished product. 

He was especially pleased to learn that his new installation wouldn’t rust or fade over time. The aluminium was weather-resistant and durable, while the powder-coated finish would ensure the paint looked fresh and new. Almost immediately, he noticed an improvement in the thermal efficiency too. Our roof lanterns are designed to help manage internal temperatures, so he used his central heating less. All that extra light meant he didn’t need to rely on his electricity as much, so his lighting bills dropped too. Mr Bell was delighted that he could now relax and get lost in a paperback without a hefty bill hanging over his head.
