Why Choose Brett Martin Roof Lanterns for Your Project?

When upgrading a flat roof extension or orangery, the right roof lantern can completely transform the look and feel of your living space. Brett Martin is a British manufacturer renowned for engineering daylighting systems that combine aesthetic elegance with robust structural integrity.

Every Brett Martin roof lantern features slim, powder-coated aluminium rafter bars engineered to reduce visual intrusion and maximise daylight. Designed for the UK climate, they exceed building regulations for thermal efficiency, safety, and weatherproofing.

Exploring the Styles: Contemporary, Classic & Pyramid

To complement your home’s architecture, Brett Martin roof lanterns come in three distinct structural designs:

1. Contemporary (4-Panel Ridged)

The modern favourite for rectangular extensions. With a clean, minimalist 4-pane layout, this design eliminates unnecessary hip rafters for unobstructed views of the sky.

2. Classic (6-Panel Ridged)

Ideal for larger extensions, dining spaces, and orangeries. The 6-panel design adds extra glazing bars for a more decorative, traditional aesthetic that mirrors classic period architecture.

3. Pyramid (4-Sided Square)

Purpose-made for square or near-square roof openings. The 4-sided pyramid lantern delivers symmetry and balanced light distribution while offering exceptional value.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size upstand do I need for a Brett Martin roof lantern?

Brett Martin roof lanterns are designed to fit directly onto a prepared builder’s upstand (timber kerb). The upstand should generally be constructed at a minimum height of 150mm above the finished roof membrane and angled between 0 and 5 degrees for optimum drainage and aesthetic balance. Always measure the overall external dimensions of your finished timber upstand before ordering.

Are Brett Martin roof lanterns thermally efficient?

Yes. Brett Martin lanterns feature a fully thermally broken aluminium profile that prevents cold bridging. Combined with argon-filled, Low-E double glazing achieving a centre-pane U-value of 1.2 W/m²K, they keep heat inside during winter and reduce heating requirements.

Is laminated inner glass really necessary on roof lanterns?

Yes, and Brett Martin provides laminated inner glass as standard. Under UK safety regulations for overhead glazing, if glass breaks, toughened glass can drop down in small pieces. Laminated inner glass bonds to an interlayer on impact, staying in place to protect occupants below and maintain security.

What is the difference between clear and blue solar control glass?

  • Clear Self-Cleaning Glass: Offers maximal light transmission and thermal retention, making it ideal for north-facing or naturally shaded spaces.
  • Blue Solar Control Glass: Features a light tint designed to reflect excess solar heat, making it ideal for south- or west-facing extensions prone to overheating in summer.
