Atlas Unveils New Generation Lantern
Industry pioneer Atlas
Glazed Roof Solutions has pushed
the boundaries in lantern design
once again with the unveiling
of a next generation glazed roof
lantern. The Lantern 2.0 is the
slimmest, lightest, strongest, finest
looking and most energy efficient
lantern that Atlas has ever created,
and the market has ever seen.
Developed to deliver everything
the homeowner and install-
er want in a roof lantern, the
fitter-friendly lantern is the
slimmest non-bonded roof in the
industry. And Atlas has improved
on all its features to make it the
best lantern available on the mar-
ket today.
As well as introducing a host of
advances to improve the appear-
ance and performance of the lan-
tern, Atlas has also ensured that it
simplifies the installation process
for the fitter.
The Lantern 2.0 is perfectly
proportioned with the internal
ridge, transom rafters and hips
the same 40mm width and ap-
pearance for a streamlined look.
It is also one of the strongest
glazed roofing systems available
and, despite its extensive glazing,
it delivers outstanding thermal
performance.
