Questions about this size
Will a 1000 x 2500 mm lantern fit my kerb?
It fits a kerb whose outside measures 1000 mm by 2500 mm. Measure the outside of your kerb at several points and check the diagonals. If your kerb is a few millimetres different, we can quote made-to-measure instead.
How heavy is a 1000 x 2500 mm roof lantern?
Roughly 140 kg with double glazing and 175 kg with triple glazing, as a planning figure. The manufacturer's weight for your chosen range is on your quote.
How much light does a 1000 x 2500 mm lantern give?
It covers 2.50 m² of roof with about 2.76 m² of sloping glass. As a guide, that suits a room of roughly 10–15 m² of floor. In England, extensions are generally expected to keep all glazing (windows, doors and rooflights together) within about 25% of the floor area unless calculations justify more.
Does a 1000 x 2500 mm lantern need intermediate rafters?
Not at this size on most ranges.
