FAQ: Korniche Roof Lanterns & Glazing Solutions

What makes a Korniche Roof Lantern different from other rooflights?

Korniche Roof Lanterns feature ultra-slim aluminium frames, offering maximal light intake and an unobstructed sky view. Unlike some bulkier roof lanterns, Korniche designs are minimalist, strong, and thermally efficient.

Are aluminium windows and doors energy-efficient?

Yes! Modern aluminium windows and bi-folding doors include thermal break technology, which prevents heat loss, making them as energy-efficient as uPVC or timber alternatives.

How do Aluspace internal door screens compare to traditional partitions?

Unlike solid walls or wooden doors, Aluspace screens maintain light flow between spaces, offering privacy without blocking natural brightness. Their industrial-style aluminium frames also provide a sleek, modern look.

Will a roof lantern make my home too hot in summer?

No—if you choose the right solar control glass! Korniche Roof Lanterns can be fitted with solar-reflective glazing, which reduces overheating while allowing natural light to flood in.

Do I need planning permission to install a roof lantern?

In most cases, no—as long as your roof lantern is not higher than the highest part of your existing roof and meets permitted development guidelines. However, if your home is in a conservation area or listed, you may need approval.
