Absolutely fantastic and informative. I had the opportunity to fit the roof lantern today. Delivery arrived at 3pm and fitted this by 7pm. My first attempt and never done this before. I noticed three things that you haven't mentioned in your video. The internal trim covers for covering the screws from the inside . Should have mentioned at what stage they need to be done.
The corner brackets holes may not align. Mine where about 2mm out of position.
The lower and upper middle capends in a 6 panels glass should have been been highlighted clearly. I made a mistake by pushing the black plastic screws before the end cap! Couldn't take them off and had to use ct1 to fit the upper end cap.
Another minor problem is the cover trims fitted from the inside. No instructions on that and they don't fit firmly.
Glass seals may have small loose glass stuck and need to be cleaned or they may damage the frame or glass integrity.
The product is packaged very well apart from the glass panels. It would have been good if they protected the edges more for transportation. I have noticed some very minor damages to edges. The glass has sharp corners and you would expect some sort or caps or protection.
Overall, I can't thank you enough for making this video .
I have chosen korniche product due to watching your video
Kind regards

Love fitting these ,all packed up well ,no missing parts and makes the job look fantastic when you have finished happy customer happy fitter it’s a win win .
We have been installing these for years. Unwrapped we can do these in under 25 minutes. Incredible product.
I need someone to fit my roof lantern can you give your number please
Great video, really helpful even as the end-consumer just looking to understand how much work goes into fitting one of these. Not as much as I originally thought it seems!
Great to watch this. Bought one and put the main frame together. Didn't quite understand the silicone bit. Just did the corners. When I come to fit it I'll make sure I bead it right round. Thanks
I just fitted one to my roof today. Your video was a big help to me. In fact it was due to seeing your video a few weeks ago I decided to buy a Koniche lantern rather than another make. Thanks.
Great to hear! I am sure the manufacturers will be pleased to hear that
One of the best videos I have seen. Thank you - I now know exactly what to expect when it arrives! Really fab video.
Glad it was helpful!
Just be careful Roger, when you said 10nm is a lot, it isn't really. Most impact drivers would exceed that with ease.
I do agree with you about silicone, eventually it will let you down. I still use Plumbers Mate!
If I have to use silicone in an area I can't easily go back to, I use CT1.
Great video. Just purchased this based on your video.
👌 Great product and video, we have just started to put a window board on prior to the whole system so no hardship in side to finish off . Just plasterboard underside to finish.
Fantastic Roger! we're a huge fan and supplier of the Korniche Roof lantern even though you make it look easy....it really is that easy to install!
We will be fitting some more soon. Great design
from watching his videos i learnt one major thing ,that is " being a skill builder these days is to learn how to read the instructions " not a mockery just how modern shit is these days ,gone are the days of custom made sky lights and plumbing and other fixtures ,but having the skill of comprehension
PS ,which is good cuz if it dont work u got some company to blame and a warranty
Yes except that every one of these units is made to measure and really well made so it doesn't fit into that category. The complete opposite. Made For Trade
It looked like the frame sat on silicone on top of the upstand!!! Surely there should be a cover flashing??that horizontal joint will give trouble
There is a drip. The overhang on the glass is also enough to keep that joint dry. You could add lead and welt it up on the inside but modern sealants are very good
Great work fantastic design
great video - I did this for my extension, as an amateur! great stuff
Great and easy job, really like it Roger.
😮Hi Roger, I watched your video clip on the Korniche roof lantern light, and decided that this was the one for me. Then I watched your new video clip on Part “L” of the building regs. As the Korniche roof lantern is only single glazed will this still satisfy the new Part”L” of the building regs. I have contacted the company but have received no answer.
Hi George
Where did you get the idea that it is single glazed from? It is double glazed. I don't know of any lantern that uses single glazing,
great Job, you made it easy for me, plan this.
What a beautiful product. Great review.
I just don’t understand why there is no cover between upstand and window
Do these roof lanterns have a mechanical fixing to the upstand?
Nice vid! I always use these lanterns as they're so well made.. I did think you were supposed to put silicone on the ringbeam under each hip/rafter though..😀
Love your videos mate. Thanks for sharing. 👌
Top quality I'm impressed.
Literally fitting one now. Great but of kit although, despite the quality packaging, a lot of the metalwork was damaged. It was all replaced quite quickly though. 👍
Bloody couriers are getting worse.
I’m sure it was down to the couriers. Fitted it today. An absolute dream. EVERYTHING fitted perfectly. A perfect piece of kit. Can’t rate it highly enough. 👍
Great review, looks like impressive stuff
I had mine fitted by a friend. The ends of the frame seem to have light underneath where it meets the upstand? Does the whole frame need to be bed on silicone?
Thats Robin gaff hope his paying you well roger all the best /kev
The oppposite. He provided a location but it is all coming off.
great video hop they are paying you well
Thanks for the video
Great looking product shame they only supply to the trade.
look a fantastic bit of kit , but would be good to see what it looks like in 12 months cause you know what happen when the weather gets into most things
If the people who built the Pyramids or Stone Henge came back today they would probably say the same.
Great video! Your always really informative. Had a quick question, we are trying to order one of these however getting told different things by the supplier and window fitter. Window fitter has measured internally however supplier is advising on measuring external to external. What do you recommend?
Thank you!
Definitely the external measurements and make sure to add anything between 6mm and 12mm to overlap the upstand. Trust me. I just fitted one today
Can these be shipped to the USA?
Chuyên nghiệp. Professional
Why you taking it off ,Robin didn't pay you did he
Very helpfull
How big do you make the gap for the lantern, 24 mm bigger?
This is just like the keylite one
Same kit, different name
What was the size of this lantern? I know you said 1.8m long - what about width?
I don’t know if I missed something but how is it secured to the upstand ? All I seen was silicone but I’m guessing there has to be some sort of mechanical fixing ?
Screws at 6.06 th-cam.com/video/usMK-VybGKU/w-d-xo.html
How did you fit the upstand Rodger? And is that an EPDM roof?
Buityfull. Đẹp
Hi
I am from México
Where can i get a korniche roof lantern like that
I want to take mine off hpw do I do ?
We can help you with that!
His Roger - love your videos - did you do the kerb for the roof lantern ? And how does that comply with building regs for insulation and thermal bridging? What thickness is the kerb and insulation,
I am going to put a warm roof on my garage - Building control requires a minimum of 120 mm pir insulation - but is that not required for a vertical kerb? Sorry for so many questions.
We needed to make a video and Robin is ripping all that roof off so he cut a hole in it and made up a kerb. Normally we would make it out of 4 x 2 and line out with another 25 mm of insulation as well as the 100mm infills. This was built for the day.
What size was this window
Eye liner??😋
And no FENSA cert need ?
I wish i could just find 1 fucking bad like him in all iraq kurdistan absolutely wonderful. I wanna thank him for the great service
I worry these will leak but seems pretty well made?
They don't leak if you put them in properly
@@SkillBuilder Yeah, I'm a DIY type person rather than trade but I've converted my loft, built three sheds, and a conservatory so looking at how simple these are in relation to that I think I'll be reet. I need to re-roof my rear extension as the old fibre glass roof is a bit tired so thinking of incorporating a 3m x 2m version of this there - the only thing I'm worried about is the weight of the glass (from a handling perspective) but I'll figure it out :)
hi iwas wondering how you would replace one of the glass panels
Very easily if you had to but it is rare for them to come to any harm. The fact that glass can break doesn't mean it will break.
Is the kerb size 100mm all the way around? And is the height 150mm
Yes you have it right. You can go higher but 150mm high is the minimum
100mm? I thought they had to be 70mm or is that the minimum?
Bit worried about the room becoming a green house and too hot
hi,what glass is the type used in your demo (i.e is it clear or blue & what u-value) & what would be your recommendation for a 2 metre x 1 metre lantern ?
Good Morning Les, The glass used in the Video is the Ambi Blue. ! As for a reccommendation... This would depend on your requirements for the level of heat reflection and light transmission you desire. You can find details on the glass used for Korniche Roof Lanterns below
Activ Clear - Low-e Conservatory Glass - U-Value 1.2, Solar Heat Reflection 31%, Light Transmission 70%
Activ Neutral - Low-e Conservatory Glass - U-Value 1.2, Solar Heat Reflection 66%, Light Transmission 38%
Self Clean Blue - Low-e Conservatory Glass- U-Value 1.2, Solar Heat Reflection 54%, Light Transmission 57%
Celsius Clear - Performance Glass - U-Value 1.0, Solar Heat Reflection 58%, Light Transmission 61%,
Celsius One - Performance Glass - U-Value 1.0, Solar Heat Reflection 83%, Light Transmission 30%,
Celsius Elite - Performance Glass - U-Value 0.9, Solar Heat Reflection 83%, Light Transmission 27%
Opened one today still had dint in on of the jack rafters not good.
Given how well it is packed it must have had some really rough handling. Unfortunately, since Covid, the couriers have hired so many sub contractors that stuff is being damaged all over the place.
@@SkillBuilder fair comment skill builder chap back in the office filled the two little dings and re sprayed couldn't even tell so got to finish the job. It was a bit bigger than the one you showed on your video, but it is one of the best roof lantern systems we have ever used i highly recommend them top banana thanks for your quick reply take care natty
@@nattydread1656 As previously asked, are they not easy to get into from the top as they're so easy to put together from a thieves perspective?
Just fitted one. As we say in the trade, ' a piece a piss'.
The company you mentioned does not supply to private home owners. You video is good, but can't buy from tge company you mentioned.
You can buy the window from a merchant. That is not unusual.
1:00 yeah it's an excellent packing, but how wasteful on resources....
Not half so wasteful as having to replace damaged components, which happens a lot with other products
"Read The Instrutions" 😜
You have to put the thing together yourself? Shit, you'd pay more in labor(which you could potentially fail at) to put the thing together than you would having a prefabricated one delivered and craned onto the roof. How many parts/fasteners are there in that thing? 25? 50? 100?
Also, it should have probably a larger skirt flange at the bottom then, no?
And how much would you say a crane would cost vs one hours labour? 🤷🏼♂️
@@martindalewindows4801 Depends on what kind of knuckle boom truck or crane you need, really. Depends on how high the building is, how heavy the item is, and where the delivery truck is able to park safely. Our local roofing supply house typically charges $50 american to deliver any number of pallets of roofing materials to a job, and if they can get in the driveway, they can get full pallets of shingles to the top of a three story townhouse no problem. My guess is that this thing would take an experienced man several hours(2-6 hrs depending on whether they've done one of those before) to put this contraption together, and even in that event you still run the risk of user error(which will cost _you_ , not them) and it's possible that it could leak if you make a slight error or errors and then you'd be on the hook to repair it. It's better they build the things in the factory to their specs and provide a warranty that covers repair or replacement in the event of a failure in the product itself that doesn't result from faulty installation. Plus if that thing is already built when it gets to the job, you can have the curb completely flashed and ready for it and just set the thing down on top of the curb, screw it down, and boom, done. Why would I want to worry about putting 1400 pieces together, each seam and joint a possible leak?
It's likely that most of the time, people will be buying one of these at the same time as replacing their roof, and if that's the case there's probably already a boom truck coming to lift the shingle onto the roof, so in that event, you've already paid for the crane, might as well use the thing.
