S1 Roof Lantern
Secure, sustainable and stylish, the UK’s most secure roof lantern. Flood your home in light with our ultra secure, thermally efficient S1 roof lanterns.
Choosing the right roof lantern for a project is an important decision. They should let in the maximum amount of light, yet keep heat in a property as well as keeping would be intruders out. Letting homeowners enjoy more natural light and amazing night time views of the stars, while bringing a sense of space and tranquillity to their home. This is why we have designed the S1 aluminium roof lantern from the ground up to meet these needs. Building on years of experience, we’ve incorporated many new innovative ideas to create a warmer, slimmer and much more secure roof lantern.
Great looks from every angle
S1 features ultra low line aesthetics so rafter and hip top caps sit close to the glazing level on the exterior, creating a sleek modern look. Completing this refined architectural appearance our corner and rafter end caps run perfectly in line with the perimeter, so no unsightly angles jut out to spoil the perfect lines of this contemporary high-performance aluminium lantern.
Thermlock® technology helps keep heating bills lower
The S1 lantern combines aluminium’s clean lines with exceptional thermal performance and features our innovative Thermlock® multi-chamber technology to keep properties well insulated against the worst of the UK weather. This coupled to high performance 28mm glazing means our lantern roofs offer class leading thermal performance, far superior to traditional polyamide systems based around 24mm glazing. A unique co-extruded perimeter seal also ensures draughts and rain are kept safely outside. 28mm glazing also allows acoustic dampening glass to be fitted if required.
Built-on Innovation

Thermally Efficient
Our eaves beam design also ensures aluminium sections remain internal, preventing cold bridging and condensation issues.

Fabricator Friendly
Available in bar length as well as kits, S1 our patented corner construction method to create a square and rigid eaves beam, with no CNC milling required.

Installer Friendly
Unique hook brackets support the hip rafters during construction, simplifying fitting on site and speeding up installation.
The UK’s most secure lantern, keeping homes safe
The innovative construction of the S1 system eliminates the security weaknesses of traditional lantern designs. Features such as anti-tamper screws, enclosed anti-tamper glazing, security tape and our patent pending glass lock, alongside our unique high security ridge end, ensure there isn’t an easy way to enter a property via its roof lantern. All of these innovative features combined make Sheerline’s S1 system the UK’s most secure aluminium lantern roof*.
