Surround yourself with light & views
Beautifully designed roof lanterns and bi-folding doors by Korniche are a stunning way to link to the outside
If you’re planning an extension in the new year, let bringing in light be a key focus and a way to introduce the wow factor.
If the addition is a flat roof extension, it gives scope for a roof lantern – or even two – creating a spectacular vaulted effect. A modern take on the classic Victorian style of roof lantern, they can be positioned to help zone the space, bringing in light above a dining table or perhaps the living area. But for real impact, the roof lanterns work best complemented by bi-folding doors that can offer great views when closed, and drawn back to their fullest for a flowing inside/outside link.
Korniche is uncompromising in its attention to detail and delivers the most advanced products on the glazing market. It is famous for its award-winning roof lantern, which was the first of its kind, designed using ground-breaking engineering rather than being derived from existing conservatory systems.
Made from high quality and sturdy aluminium, the roof lantern offers expansive views with maximum sizes spanning up to 24 square metres. The strength of it means it can support more glass without the need for additional rafters – so you can enjoy even more clear sky or star gazing.
The lantern also has superb weather resistance and thermal retention to help keep an openplan space comfortably warm.
It is low maintenance and can be installed easily and quickly.
Korniche applied the same flair for engineering and design innovation when creating the bi-folding doors that pair so well with the roof lantern, bringing a contemporary aesthetic to your home transformation
The bi-folds have configurations of up to seven sashes, which can be opened in a combination of ways to suit your room layout and lifestyle. They have slim profiles but are extremely robust, with concealed lock works, colour-matched trickle air vents and bespoke handles for an uncluttered look. A choice of more than 150 RAL colours in matt, satin or gloss ensures the frames will fit in with your scheme, and they can be powder-coated in as natural or as vivid a shade as you want, with a pin-sharp, scratch-resistant finish.
The bi-folds include enhanced security standards, with a Yale 3 star locking barrel and robust Fuhr main door lock, to reassure homeowners of their safety. Further security is offered in an ergonomic shootbolt handle with anti-backdrive feature. This means that if the doors are accidentally left unlocked, someone trying to forcibly enter won’t be able to rotate the handle fully to open the door.
The bi-folds come with a 10year warranty as standard, and this reassurance is driven by the hope that Korniche bi-fold doors will become as synonymous with quality as the roof lantern.
