Natural lighting and ventilation for optimal comfort
Aesthetic, practical, and functional, LANTERHOME meets both the public's expectations and the requirements of building roofing professionals. The HEXADOME dome window is available in a fixed version for lighting and an opening version for ventilation. The dome can be opened manually using a pole or electrically via a remote control or switch.
The overhead lighting provides diffused and even light throughout the day. LANTERHOME windows can be positioned as desired by their users, without them having to worry about the building's orientation. Judicious use of dome windows is a major asset for developing the architectural, energy, and environmental qualities of a home. The natural lighting provided by LANTERHOME is a first-rate ecological alternative to electric lighting, which is significantly more energy-intensive.
Technical advantages for insulation and waterproofing
HEXADOME's expertise in openings for flat roofs has enabled it to develop a reliable and durable solution with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation performance.
LANTERHOME consists of a double or triple dome made of shock-resistant polycarbonate with rounded edges that comply with current installation regulations. This dome helps improve sound insulation and limits impact noise, particularly in the event of hail.
The dome window's frame structure incorporates a thermal break. It includes a honeycomb PVC curb that reinforces the insulation as well as a sloping curb that eliminates the need for a corner seal in new or renovated buildings.
In the ventilation version, the dome and its PVC frame open 300 mm. PVC has the advantage of being rot-proof and protecting against cold, noise, heat, wind, and humidity. It is also particularly lightweight, requires little maintenance, and is 100% recyclable.
A double or triple transparent or opal dome infill can be added to ensure maximum thermal and acoustic insulation. Optionally, a sun protection or blackout blind can be integrated to control light penetration.
The result of HEXADOME's expertise in openings for flat roofs, LANTERHOME is a complete dome window that stands out for its ease of installation and use, whether for new builds or renovations.
