How the Korniche Roof Lantern is Transforming Skylines
Exhibiting a cutting-edge design , swift assembly time , and seamless fitting , the roof lantern has disrupted the home building sector and had a revolutionary impact on installation , surpassing traditional roof products . Before the introduction of the Korniche Roof Lantern , the market was saturated with inefficient PVC-clad aluminium systems that were not only thermally inefficient but also required extensive manual adjustments , such as drilling and cutting , which made their installation process cumbersome .
In stark contrast , the Korniche Roof Lantern is designed for streamlined installation , taking just minutes to fit and glaze compared to pre-existing and competitor products ..
Pioneering Features of the Korniche Roof Lantern
We take a look at the specific design features that enhance the product ’ s functionality and appeal and really demonstrate Made For Trade ’ s commitment to engineering excellence and user-friendly design :
• End Caps : For a sleek , refined appearance , these are installed with no visible fixings .
• Unique Glazing Retainer : The revolutionary design prevents glass from slipping and masks the glass edge , whilst simplifying the installation process .
• Assembling Mechanism : To ensure quick and reliable assembly , single fix bolts and die-cast aluminium components with steel helicoils are used to avoid cross-threading .
• Innovative Boss Design : A patent-granted design replicates a traditional timber “ bird ’ s mouth ” joint , allowing for a virtually seamless and aesthetically pleasing connection .
Broadening Horizons and Expanding the Market
The Korniche Roof Lantern has really raised the bar for installation ease , thermal
efficiency , and sleek design aesthetics , having tackled any previous industry limitations .
