Our Skypod Glass Roof Lantern has been specifically designed to offer a stylish minimalistic look using slim line profiles to give maximum impact of the visible glass. The contemporary design creates an eye-catching feature that floods the interior of the property with natural light offering a cost-effective way to enhance a tired flat roof extension.
The design of the Skypod means no cresting or finials are used, whilst a unique ridge bar cover cap maintains the sleek appearance. An innovative two-bar pitched gable design brings all the advantages of Skypod to smaller skylights, whilst the extra bar is added to the larger style sizes.
Skypod also offers excellent energy-efficiency too with a u-value of 1.2 available on our Standard glass models and a u-value of 1.0 on our Premium glass models. What’s more, the easy-to-install Skypod is more cost-effective than aluminium skylights or conservatory roof systems.
Our design your own Skypods are available in a range of styles (enter your sizes and the sizes styles available for your sizes will be displayed). Following on from this you can also select your frame colour (inside and out) colours and also your glass colour tint.
Our products are large can be heavy and difficult to transport. We have therefore partnered with and successfully used a specialist delivery company for over 10 years now.
After you place your order you will be sent and order confirmation from ourselves. Once your product is ready for delivery the delivery company will CONTACT YOU BY PHONE to arrange a suitable delivery date (they will not just land like a 'normal courier').
When you are contacted you can discuss any delivery requirements (time requests and access restrictions etc). The delivery drivers also endeavour to call you the day before delivery to confirm and also give you an approximate time of delivery.
Our delivery provider endeavours to provide a 2 person delivery team to minimise the need for assistance on delivery.
ALL of the sizes we quote relating to roof lanterns are EXTERNAL upstand sizes.
We have to quote external sizes as the internal size is determined by the thickness of the upstand you use. Typically this is 75mm or 100mm but can vary depending on the size of the lantern etc.
All of our Roof Lanterns are assembled in our factory and Quality Checked.
All components are marked up to show where they go as per a drawing we supply. The Lanterns are then photographed before being disassembled and flat packed into boxes.
All of the holes are pre-drilled and the fixing nuts and bolts are fixed into position by us so the Lantern can be easily assembled on site.
The glass is supplied separately and is all individually wrapped with protective foam to protect all edges. All of the glass is labelled with a reference number that corresponds with a plan we supply to show where each unit goes. The label also clearly identifies which face is the Self Cleaning face that is to go to the outside.
Every Lantern also includes comprehensive installation instructions.
We specialise in the high volume manufacture of roof and door systems and we do not offer an installation service however the Lanterns are very easy to assemble and a suitably qualified Builder or Roofing Company will be able to install our products.
Our glass is true Pilkington Active Self Clean unlike some other products advertised as 'Easy Clean Products' that are not true Self Clean.
Our Glass is a new generation of 'Photo Catalytic' glass to offer the ultimate in low maintenance technology. Each unit is manufactured with an invisible dual action coating to the outer face, which first acts by harnessing the ultraviolet energy in ordinary daylight to power a chemical reaction that breaks down organic dirt.
Secondly, rather than forming droplets, under rainfall this technology allows for the water to 'sheet off' the glass, carrying the dirt away.
Delivery is to any mainland UK address using a specialist Home Delivery Company who we have worked in partnership with for many years. Unlike a normal 'courier' our Delivery Team will contact you by phone to arrange a suitable delivery date. The day before the delivery where possible the driver will be in touch again to give a better indication on the time of your delivery. The two man Delivery Team will also deliver the product to the location / room of your choice.
If in the unlikely event there are any damages or shortages to your delivery, please in the first instance call or email us within 48 hours to report this. Please also take photos of the delivery if possible.

Please enter your EXTERNAL upstand sizes below, you will then be shown the configurations available for your sizes.
Following on from this please select your required glass thermal performance being either our standard glass at 1.2 W/m2k or our premium glass at 1.0 W/m2k. Please note both options are Active Self Clean its just the thermal efficiency that differs.
Finally please select your glass tint, Blue is the most popular by far as it gives the appearance the sky is bluer and brighter when looking up at it. Aqua and Bronze have slight tints and Neutral is the most clear glass (has the same very small tint as all modern 'clear' window and door glass).
Please enter your EXTERNAL up-stand sizes here (see images and downloads for more info).
We work to the external up-stand size as the thickness of up-stands can vary and therefore the internal size can vary depending on this. Using the external up-stand size maintains a reference point.
Typically the up-stand is 75mm - 100mm thick.
So for example if you order a Lantern 1200mm x 1800mm your EXTERNAL up-stand size needs to measure 1200mm x 1800mm. The aluminium ring beam then overhangs this by 12mm all around and the glass even more (see diagram).
After you have entered your external up stand sizes above you will be shown below the sizes that are available. Please select you preferred style. Images of all of the styles are also shown above in the various colour options.
All of our roof glass is Active Self Clean and is available in a range of colour tints (selected below). In addition to this we offer two levels of thermal performance. Our Standard Self Clean glass has a U-Value of 1.2 and our Premium Self Clean has a value of 1.0 (the lower the U-Value the better).
All of our roof glass is Active Self Clean and is available in a range of colour tints. Active Blue is by far the most popular as it gives the impression the sky is slightly more blue and brighter outside. If you wish to opt for a glass with no defined tint Neutral would be the best option as this only has a very minor non obtrusive tint and is the same as modern standard windows and door glass.
