Large Roof Lantern
Our client was in the process of building a wedding venue and had requested a roof lantern to cascade natural light into the wedding hall. This bespoke lantern exceeded the capabilities of the general lantern system due to the extremely large perimeter opening. The client also requested the possibility of hanging large chandeliers, therefore, we had to install aluminium crank beams internally. Products used: Ultraframe Skyspace Portal and Classic Lantern Roof System, Self-cleaning glass

Project Overview
Our client was in the process of building a wedding venue and had requested a roof lantern to cascade natural light into the wedding hall. This bespoke lantern exceeded the capabilities of the general lantern system due to the extremely large perimeter opening. Additionally, the client requested the possibility of hanging large chandeliers, necessitating the installation of internal aluminium crank beams.
Products Used
Ultraframe Skyspace Portal and Classic Lantern Roof System: The Ultraframe Skyspace Portal and Classic Lantern Roof System are designed to provide exceptional natural light and aesthetic appeal. The Skyspace Portal is a robust system capable of spanning large openings, while the Classic Lantern Roof offers a timeless design with modern performance. Superior strength to accommodate large openings, enhanced natural light, elegant design, and high durability.
Self-Cleaning Glass: This innovative glass uses a special coating that breaks down organic dirt with sunlight and allows rainwater to wash it away, keeping the glass clean with minimal effort. Reduced cleaning and maintenance time, clearer views, improved energy efficiency due to better light transmission, and enhanced overall aesthetics.
Project execution
The project began with a thorough assessment of the wedding venue construction site to understand the specific requirements for the roof lantern and the structural modifications needed to support large chandeliers. The implementation involved several key steps:
Design and Customisation:
The roof lantern design was customised to fit the extremely large perimeter opening, ensuring it could support the weight of large chandeliers while providing ample natural light.
The design included internal aluminium crank beams for additional structural support.
Installation of Ultraframe Skyspace Portal and Classic Lantern Roof System:
The bespoke roof lantern system was installed, integrating the Skyspace Portal to span the large opening and the Classic Lantern Roof to achieve the desired aesthetic.
Internal aluminium crank beams were fitted to provide the necessary support for hanging large chandeliers.
Integration of Self-Cleaning Glass: The self-cleaning glass was installed in the roof lantern, ensuring minimal maintenance and maximizing the influx of natural light into the wedding hall.
Results
The newly installed bespoke roof lantern has transformed the wedding hall, flooding the space with natural light and creating an elegant, open atmosphere. The internal aluminium crank beams provide the necessary support for large chandeliers, adding a touch of grandeur to the venue. The use of self-cleaning glass ensures that the roof lantern remains clear and low-maintenance, contributing to the overall efficiency and beauty of the space.
Conclusion
The successful completion of this project highlights our commitment to delivering customized solutions that meet our clients' specific needs. By addressing the challenges of the large perimeter opening and the requirement for chandelier support, we have created a stunning and functional wedding hall that will provide a beautiful setting for countless celebrations.
Summary
Our comprehensive approach to this project has resulted in the transformation of multiple living and event spaces, characterised by enhanced energy efficiency, improved accessibility, and elegant design. Using high-quality, innovative materials, we have successfully met the diverse needs of our client, ensuring the usability, durability, and aesthetic appeal of each space.
