“Glass house” trend surging, says natural light specialist LB Roof Windows

The use of large glass areas as part of home extensions, renovations, and residential new-builds is surging, fuelled by the continuing popularity of natural light, says market-leading roof glazing supplier, LB Roof Windows.

Director Adrian Cooper notes that advances in roof window technology now mean virtually any area of a property that was previously dark and unwelcoming can now be adapted to maximise the intake of natural light

“In recent years, we’ve seen a massive upswing in the popularity of natural light products,” commented Adrian. “That’s coincided with consumers gaining a much greater awareness of psychological, emotional, and broader health benefits that natural light can bring – and now, inspired by shows like Grand Designs, they’re looking for stylish, effective products that can help bring more natural light into their everyday lives.

“The desire for bright, ‘transparent’ homes that dissolve the traditional boundaries between the interior and the exterior is seeing end-users embellish new kitchens, extensions and other areas with high-performance roof lanterns, roof windows and skylights. As specialists in natural light, LB Roof Windows, also trading as LB Supplies, are well positioned to help builders and installers take advantage of this continuing trend,” said Adrian.

The company is a nationwide supplier of Atlas Roof Lanterns. The strongest, slimmest aluminium roof lantern system on the market today, the Atlas range delivers minimal profile and maximum glass, and is available in sizes from 1.25m to 2.5m in width. With u-values as low as 1.5, Atlas Roof Lanterns are twice as thermally efficient as their nearest competitor, and can be made even more so by upgrading to 40mm triple glazing.

“Our Atlas Contemporary and Regular Roof Lanterns are available on very quick lead times – 5 days from order to delivery – and our support team is always on hand to help with technical information and advice,” said Adrian.

In addition to Roof Lanterns, LB Roof Windows offers a whole range of other products to help builders and installers capitalise on the current trend for natural light. The company is a leading provider of Velux, Dakea and Aurora Roof Windows – the latter being available in the UK solely through LB Roof Windows – as well as the Coxdome flat roof domes, and Sunsquare flat roof skylights.

“What’s more, all our roof windows and other roof glazing solutions are available from stock for next day delivery anywhere in the UK, and can be ordered online via www.lbroofwindows.co.uk, at very competitive prices,” concluded Adrian.
