ALUMINIUM SQUARE LANTERN LAUNCH
» FOLLOWING ON FROM THE successful launch of its PVCu Square Lantern in 2021 , Wendland has announced that an aluminium Square Lantern will be available from February .
Available in sizes from 500m , up to 4000mm , the new aluminium Square Lantern will be the perfect product to sit atop extensions and orangeries with aluminium bi-folds and / or windows .
Commenting about the latest product to join the Wendland suite of glazing solutions , Wendland Brand Manager , Chloe McGrath , said : “ Our Lantern is one of our most popular systems and the square PVCu Lantern has been really well received since it launched . The square ( or pyramid ) design is getting very popular and so we are pleased to now also be able to offer it in aluminium .
This gives our installers the chance to offer a Lantern that will suite perfectly with aluminium doors or windows , as well as offering a slimline , modern look .”
The Square Lantern ( in both PVCu and aluminium ) has all the features of the original rectangular style . This includes a number of clip-on features which means there are no visible fixings , giving a neat internal and external look . The Lantern has a 20 ° pitch and is available glazed or unglazed in both shapes .
Wendland Lanterns are thermally broken and packed with many thermal features to avoid condensation build-up . From the thermal rider rail to the thermal clips , these features ensure excellent performance , which is very important in moist rooms such as kitchens where heat levels can change quickly . Many Lanterns are used as part of a kitchen extension and so these thermal features are a great selling point for installers when quoting for this type of project .
The new aluminium Square Lantern is available in the most requested colours on the market - grey , black , or white , and includes many fitter-friendly features such as :
• Unique pre-assembled RidgeLOCK system
• Clip-on ridge end covers
• Pre-fitted thermal clips
• Easy-fit clip-on capping
