Smart Architectural Aluminium has announced the launch of the Smart Lantern, a contemporary lantern roofing system which delivers an outstanding combination of elegant aesthetics, outstanding performance and security.

Designed to meet the needs of fabricators and installers, the system features Smart’s innovative ‘Tap-Down Top Capping’ solution which eliminates the need for screws, while the co-extruded isolators reduce the need for multiple gaskets, all of which reduce complexity and enable faster and easier fabrication and installation.

Allowing light to flood into any room or internal space, the Smart Lantern also optimises performance, with the 28.8mm laminated double glazing unit delivering outstanding thermal efficiency, safety and security.

Dean Thomas, Smart’s CEO, said: “The new Smart Lantern represents a significant step forward in roof lantern design. It not only meets the needs of today’s homeowners and developers but also provides fabricators and installers with a beautifully designed and engineered solution that’s fast and efficient to produce and install.”

With narrow sightlines and fully concealed fixings, the Smart Lantern delivers a sleek, modern aesthetic which provides the perfect solution for light-filled extensions and modern living spaces. The system creates a natural and calming internal environment, allowing homeowners to enjoy daylight as well as uninterrupted views of the night sky.
