Designed around your home

Every Farrow & Jones roof lantern is individually designed to suit the character and proportions of your property. You have the choice of frame material: choose slender aluminium for a crisp, contemporary finish, or hybrid hardwood for the warmth and depth of traditional joinery. Either can be designed for an existing flat roof or incorporated seamlessly into a new extension.

    Let natural light shape the room

    A beautifully proportioned roof lantern can transform a room, introducing more natural light, additional height and exceptional aesthetic appeal. Whether fitted to an existing roof surface or created as part of a new installation, our bespoke flat roof lanterns are designed around your property.

    Slender frames and generous panes of glass create a distinctive architectural feature, while high-performance glazing supports energy efficiency and year-round comfort. From a contemporary look to more traditional character, we carefully consider your roof structure, available space and specific needs to create the right choice for your home.
