Real Sheerline S1 Rooflight Project
Set in the North Yorkshire village of Eastby, this property underwent an extensive redevelopment designed to transform and significantly expand the existing home. The project included substantial rear and side extensions, creating a larger, brighter and more contemporary living environment while retaining an appearance sympathetic to the character of the property and its surroundings.
For the rear extension, a Sheerline S1 roof lantern was installed to introduce natural light from above and create a striking focal point within the new living space. The lantern was also specified with a remote-controlled Sheervent opener, allowing ventilation to be easily controlled without the need to manually access the roof glazing.
A more secure roof lantern
Your roof lantern should do more than look good — it should protect your home.
The S1 includes a range of advanced security features:
- Anti-tamper glazing system
- Patent-pending glass lock design
- Security tape for added protection
- Anti-tamper screws
- High-security ridge end
- Optional security clamping plates
These features work together to help prevent glass removal and forced entry.
