DELIGHT WITH

LANTERN FIT
» » A GROWING NUMBER OF
homeowners are asking for the Atlas lantern
by name and now three installers have proved
that no other lantern can match it for looks
and style. Vision Conservatories, Sherborne
Windows and Village Conservatories
have completed three extraordinary Atlas
installations which not only met with
exacting customer demands but were also
winners in the Atlas Installation of the Month
competition.
Vision Conservatories created a large
rear extension on a family home, making a
stunning architectural statement with three
Atlas lanterns in two styles. The new space
features a super-slim contemporary lantern
in the centre with two regular Atlas lanterns
on either side. Vision was able to complete
the project in record time because the fitter-
friendly lanterns, which were available from
stock in just five days, were installed in just
one day.
Mike Keeling, managing director of Vision
Conservatories, said: “Our customer loved
the look of the Atlas lanterns and was very
clear from the outset that they wanted them
for their new extension, so it was an easy sell
for us. We persuaded them to go for it with
two lantern styles – it was brave, but the end
result has far exceeded their expectations and
they are absolutely delighted with their new
extension. Although the lantern styles are
clearly different, they complement each other
perfectly, showing that you can easily combine
the two and achieve incredible results.”

winners Sherborne Windows didn’t hesitate
in replacing a tired gable ended conservatory
with an impressive T-shaped orangery,
complete with a spectacular Atlas lantern. The
traditionally-styled orangery reintroduced
plenty of original features and is much more
in keeping with the 1930s property in Surrey,
whilst the huge Atlas lantern magnifies the
views above.
“The Atlas roof was one of the most
satisfying elements of the project,” says
Chris Long, managing director of Sherborne
Windows. “It balances with the traditional
orangery and creates a real sense of grandeur
but it’s not fussy or cluttered at all, which
is exactly what the homeowner wanted. We
always use the Atlas lantern because it’s the
best looking one out there and this job shows
just what a startling impact it can have on a
living space. We love this project and, with so
many super entries into the competition from
other Atlas installers, we’re really proud to
have been picked as a winner once again.”
‘No compromises’ was the brief for Village
Conservatories when it designed a sensational
extension for a Dorset farmhouse – a novel
Vision Conservatories
setting for a vodka distillery. The customer was
very keen to impress visitors, so every element
of the extension needed to be luxurious. The
slim Atlas lantern brings the space to life and
cleverly elongates the room, whilst the large
aluminium bi-folding doors maximise the
views of the surrounding countryside.
Colin Dicker, managing director of Village
Conservatories, said: “The homeowner didn’t
want unsightly tie bars to detract from their
new extension or spoil their views, so it’s
no surprise that the Atlas lantern won their
hearts. There are no compromises with the
Atlas lantern – it’s slim, strong and stylish
and it does full justice to this remarkable new
space. We’re delighted with how this project
turned out and to have won an award for it.”
