The term roof lantern in its most usually describes a multi-paned glass construction that sits atop a normally flat roof in order to provide natural sunlight into the room underneath. In effect a skylight. The term has also been coined (Roof Top Lantern) to describe the pretty lighted lanterns atop Japanese taxi cabs designed to mimic the cultural heritage of Japanese lanterns.
The first Roof Lanterns were made of wood and glass giving them a classic look.
“Initially wood-framed in the 18th and 19th centuries, skylights became even more popular in metal construction with the advent of sheet-metal shops during the Victorian era. Virtually every urban terraced house of the late-19th and early-20th centuries relied upon a metal skylight to illuminate its enclosed stairwell. More elaborate homes of the era showed a fondness for the Roof Lantern, in which the humble ceiling-window design of the skylight is enhanced into a miniature glass-paneled conservatory-style roof cupola or tower”
With advancements in glazing and sealing techniques, modern Roof Lanterns can have the same classic look along with the benefits of high performance insulated glass and sealants, which reduce energy consumption and provide water-tightness in the same manner as typical skylights. Today Roof Lanterns are built of both wood and aluminum materials, depending upon the style of property it is being added to and the owner’s personal taste.
