Openable roof lanterns

Question

Can you get roof lanterns that have openable windows? If so, how easy are they to open and close?

Mark · Answer

Ben · Answer

Yes there are roof lanterns that open in all different varieties, electronic or manual depending on your budget and style of roof

Paul · Answer

Hi Sarah. There are flat lanterns and hipped lanterns. Depends which ones you mean. Flat ones can be openable and are either manually operated on a fixed arm that opens so far to one position. or there are motorized chain driven ones with an activator that you operate with a rocker switch similar to a light switch to open and close.  A hipped lantern ( like a small shaped roof) dependig on size, can have openers that operate in a similar fashion to the flat rooflight lanterns. If small enough, the entire hipped lantern can open. On a large on, a section opens. Obviously, a quality installation/ product is required to make sure all is watertight when closed.

Hi Roof Lanterns are available with options for opening with a reach pole or remote control operation 
The remote control is obviously more expensive in my opinion the roof lateen reach pole is adequate and easy to use

Linford · Answer

Good afternoon,

In response to your question, we have lanterns with an openable top vent which can be manual or electric opening

Aimee · Answer

Yes, you can. There are 2 options Electric and Lever/Chain mechanisms. Electrical is obviously very easy as there is no effort required just additional installation costs (usually starting around £1500 upwards). Lever/Chain are cheaper but effort is generally affected by the standard of installation and the brand selected.
