Lantern Roofs

Lantern Roofs are a specialty. There isn't anything we haven't done in the range of lantern roofs. We have made all sizes and shapes, various ridge configurations, and opening roof lights. We also make curved rafters and domes. All are manufactured in our own highly automated UK facility along with our sash windows, casement windows and doors.

Our lantern roofs are full engineered to ensure structural integrity. They are at competitive prices and can accommodate almost any glazing specification that may be required.

All the components for David Salisbury  lantern roofs are made to a tolerance of 0.1mm and fully finished in our automatic paint spray plant to ensure consistent a coating thickness and a first class finish. Provided that components are carefully handled, no further painting is required.

Lead times are short and once the drawing has been approved delivery can be in as little as three weeks.

Main Features:

  • State of the art production technology has allowed David Salisbury to design an interlocking roof system based on tapered dovetail joints and a high degree of timber engineering.
  • Using a matrix of sizes underwritten by our structural engineer, every David Salisbury roof is designed to meet British Standards.
  • If building regulations approval is required full structural calculations can be supplied
  • Our dry glazed roofing system incorporates specially designed EPDM rafter gaskets to give the roof a weather tight seal, their flexibility accommodates any possible expansion/contraction within the roof structure
  • The aluminium roof components are polyester powder coated
  • Structural tie-bars or other reinforcement will be included as necessary
