‘ Next generation ’ roof lantern
Sheerline continues to expand its impressive range of innovative aluminium products with the launch of a next generation aluminium roof lantern . It combines sleek low-level styling and cutting-edge performance to create one of the most secure , thermally efficient and beautiful lanterns on the market .
» THE S1 ROOF LANTERN HAS BEEN designed from scratch by Garnalex ’ expert team , and the end result is ground-breaking . S1 is not only ultra-secure and energy efficient but stylish and modern , compared to clunky traditional systems . Available in three stocked colours across 10 different styles , with two and four-way options and designed around 28mm glazing , this advanced roof lantern has the options to suit any project .
Sheerline ’ s S1 redefines the product category ’ s security expectations , often a weak point in lantern roofs , with a number of unique innovations . Overlapping cast end caps prevent the bar and top caps from being removed and anti-tamper screws are provided to attach end caps to roof bars . High-security 2 and 4 way top caps are also bolted through from the inside preventing easy removal . The arrangement of the interlocking eaves beam means that the glass cannot be removed from the outside and features a unique patent pending glass lock , lowering the risk of breakins even further .
Designed with the same innovative Thermlock ® multi-chambered thermal breaks as the Classic and Prestige systems , the S1 roof lantern offers maximum thermal performance throughout its design , from the eaves beam and ridge to each rafter assembly . Cold bridging is prevented by ensuring the aluminium is fully encapsulated below the glass line with a unique co-extruded perimeter seal creating a weathertight seal for enhanced performance and energy efficiency .
Slim , consistent 50mm rafter , hip and ridge sightlines maximise light flooding into homes , creating bright , airy interiors and banishing gloom . The S1 lantern also features ultra low line aesthetics , so rafter and hip top caps sit just 8mm above the glazing level on the exterior , creating a sleek modern look . Completing this refined architectural appearance , corner and rafter end caps run perfectly in line with its perimeter , so no unsightly angles jut out to spoil the perfect lines of this beautiful high-performance aluminium lantern . It creates the ideal balance of understated refinement , contemporary looks and exacting quality standards .
Roger Hartshorn , CEO of Garnalex , says : “ We expect the S1 roof lantern to transform the aluminium roof lantern market , much like Classic and Prestige have done for aluminium windows and doors . Not only is it beautiful , but it also tackles some of the security issues that customers face with existing products . Our team of experts have reinvented aluminium roof lanterns into something that is ultra-secure and thermally efficient as well as being stylish and contemporary . The latest addition to the Sheerline family is fabricator friendly and offers easy , trouble-free installation . And it ’ s available on short , reliable lead times .”
