Square roof lanterns for Fort William homes
Four triangular panes meeting at a point: a pyramid lantern for square openings.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 56.6° high over Fort William, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Strong central focal point from below
- Ideal over a table, island or hallway
- No ridge, a neat apex cap instead
