How Much Are Roof Lanterns?
So, just how much are Roof Lanterns?
This question gets asked a lot and in addition – ‘Are Roof Lanterns Expensive??’.
Of course, there is no fixed price due to a multitude of options available that can include:
- Size – How big is the roof lantern that is required?
- Shape – Does the roof lantern need to be in a certain shape such or wall- abutting?

This means you only pay for what you actually need. the larger the roof lantern, the more specialist coating is required.
Shape plays a very key role in the cost of a roof lantern. Pyramid, octangular, rectangular and wall-abutting roof lanterns all make a definite difference when it comes to providing an accurate roof lantern quote.
