When it comes to choosing the perfect roof lantern for your home, one of the initial decisions you’ll face is whether to opt for a made-to-measure design, or a stock-sized lantern. While custom sizes might seem appealing, stock sizes can offer a range of benefits that make them the best choice for many projects.
At Lantern Superstore, we pride ourselves on stocking one of the largest selections of roof lanterns in a huge variety of sizes, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your space – without the hassle or extra cost of a bespoke size.
The Benefits of a Stock Sized Roof Lantern
When choosing from one of our many stock size options, not only do you get to choose from our most popular sizes, but you’ll also enjoy many benefits compared to choosing a made to measure design.
1. Faster Delivery Times
The biggest advantage of choosing a roof lantern from a stock sizing list is it’s immediate availability. Unlike made-to-measure options, stocked roof lanterns are ready to go, with your choice of glazing as they don’t require manufacturing lead times. This is great for those wanting to complete projects faster and avoid those unreliable, long waits.
2. Cost-Effective Solution
Custom-sized roof lanterns typically come at a premium cost. This is due to the additional manufacturing and labour costs involved with creating a bespoke size. With our wide range of pre-made stock sizes at Lantern Superstore, you can achieve a high-end, premium-quality finish at a fraction of the price.
3. Designed to Fit Most Openings
Our carefully selected stock sizes cater to the most popular and standard roof openings, ensuring you can easily find a size to seamlessly integrate with your space. Depending on your project – whether you’re working on a modern extension, a classic orangery or a brand new renovation project, our product options ensure a perfect fit.
4. Proven Quality & Durability
As stock-sized roof lanterns are mass-produced, they go through rigorous quality control and testing to ensure structural integrity and longevity. This means you’re investing in a tried and tested product that stands the true test of time.
5. Faster Installation
Builders often have to accommodate unique dimensions when choosing a made-to-measure roof lantern, which can sometimes result in unexpected complications during installation. With stock-sized roof lanterns, you avoid these errors. They are designed to standard specifications, making installation quicker, simpler, and hassle-free.

When is a Made-to-Measure Roof Lantern Necessary?
There are some scenarios where a custom-made roof lantern might be the best choice for your project, particularly if:
- You have an unusually shaped or non-standard existing roof opening.
- Your space requires a ultra-large scale lantern that falls outside standard stock size options.
- You require a completely unique design to fit a specific architectural style.
At Lantern Superstore, we are able to manufacture bespoke creations with our unique set of glass options and colour finishes, but we do not offer made-to-measure sizes. However, we have one of the biggest variety of sizes available on the market, and our team are always on hand to assist you with any queries you may have with our product offering. In most cases, a stock-sized roof lantern will offer the perfect balance of convenience, affordability and style.
