Love at First Light
Lush woodlands and open plan living captured the
hearts of homeowners Mike and Diana when they first
saw their property in Cheshire. Soon after moving in,
they realised their living space needed more light – and
they began the process of researching their options.
» » WHILE THE COUPLE WOULD HAVE
loved to add a conservatory onto their home,
the rear garden only offered limited space and
wasn’t a feasible option. That’s when the couple
came across images of the Liniar Elevate lantern
roof on a property in Derbyshire on Twitter.
Mike explains, “The rear of our property has
a flat roof and after seeing the pictures of the
Elevate lantern, we were already day dreaming
of one over our kitchen.
“When we contacted a local Liniar
installation company, we were told that
Elevate came in both a traditional rectangle,
but also in a modern square version – offering
us the opportunity to have not one but two
over our living space. Elevate would not only
bring in some much needed natural light but
is also simply stunning.

‘The installation of
the roofs and bi-fold
have given our house a
modern, beautiful finish’
“With fitters already having prepared
our roof for the installation, we decided it
would be a good idea to go ahead and get our
bi-fold fitted at the same time, to cut down
on disruption at home. Our local Liniar
fabricator provided us with a bi-fold that not
only matched our Elevate lantern roofs in
7016 Grey perfectly but also matched our grey
flush sash windows exactly. The installation of
the roofs and bi-fold have given our house a
modern, beautiful finish.”
INSTALLATION
Installing the Elevate lantern roofs takes as
little as 30 minutes once the roof is prepared
for installation. Preparation is what takes
the time for fitters – and for this property
one team was working on each Elevate roof,
while a third installed the ModLok™ bi-fold
door.
Mike gives us his first impression of the
Elevate roof:
“As Elevate was being installed it was very
interesting to watch. It went together faster
than I thought possible and the team worked
as if they were a machine. Everything fell
into place perfectly and they didn’t have to
measure, cut, measure, cut. Everything with
the Elevate kit was an exact fit for our roof, it
was just an incredibly smooth process.”
