Ewenny Lights Up Growth With Lantern 2.0
Ewenny Home Improvements has seen its business grow rapidly after becoming one of the first firms to upgrade to the Atlas Lantern 2.0 which was introduced in mid-2019.
The lantern, which is one of the slimmest non-bonded glazed roof available, is already proving a hit with Ewenny's customers.
Ewenny’s director Andrew Edwards says: “We were keen to see the Atlas Lantern 2.0 when it was launched - and it proved to be slimmer and sleeker than anything else we’d seen. We knew that homeowners would definitely want it. And we were right – people ask for the lantern by name and we’re installing more than one a week. It’s easily become one of our most popular premium products.”
Speedy fit
One of the main attractions of the new lantern for Ewenny, however, is the ease and speed with which it can be fitted.
"My team has remarked on how fast and easy it is to fit,” says Edwards. “It’s light to lift into place and the new ringbeam now comes in one piece so there’s no need for on-site assembly. There are fewer components too and you only need to use silicone to seal the lantern to the kerb, which makes for a much quicker and more straightforward installation.”
Lantern 2.0 features a fully aluminium, thermally broken ringbeam, which has been reduced in size by 55% to make it lighter, better looking and more thermally efficient. It also incorporates a refined ridge topcap, which is 25% thinner than before, to achieve slim sightlines when viewed from below. The height of the ridge top cap has also been reduced by nearly 50% to make it much less obtrusive from the outside.
No boss or hoods
The internal ridge, transom rafters and hips are the same 40mm width to create a neat appearance and unlike bulkier systems, there are no boss or hoods to intrude on the roof’s super-slim ridge.
Showroom
Ewenny has invested in a new Lantern 2.0 for its showroom, which has attracted customers from all over South Wales. One visitor who went on to buy a Lantern 2.0 after seeing it in the showroom was a Mr Davies from Cardiff.
Davies and his wife have lived in their four-bedroom detached home for more than 40 years and had built an extension on the ground floor some time ago. The couple wanted to upgrade the extension and bring more light into their home by replacing the old polycarbonate roof.
“Our extension gave us useful space, but it was very dark and unwelcoming,” says Mr Davies. ”One of our friends had just had a lantern fitted and urged us to get one too.
“We went along to the Ewenny showroom and were immediately impressed with the quality of the showroom and the great-looking Atlas lantern we saw on display.”

The full Monty
The couple chose a 2.5 x 1.5 metre contemporary Atlas lantern in grey and aluminium bi-folding doors to maximise the flow of light into the room.
