Introducing the New & Improved Korniche Roof Lantern — Launching 20 October

The highly anticipated New Korniche Roof Lantern is just around the corner—and it’s been reimagined from the ground up. Backed by the award-winning legacy of the original, this latest version brings slimmer lines, smarter engineering, and faster installation, all designed to raise the bar for roof lantern performance and appearance.

A Legacy of Innovation, Rebuilt

Built on the same DNA that earned the original Korniche its reputation—and even a King’s Award for Enterprise—this new iteration embraces all the things installers and homeowners have long loved, while pushing forward in every direction. Made for Trade Made For Trade has invested in reengineering every component, from frame geometry to lighting integration, to deliver something that’s “slimmer, stronger, smarter and faster to install than ever before.” Made for Trade

At its core, the new lantern is still the same product category many have relied on, but it arrives refreshed. When you see a Korniche Roof Lantern in your specification or quoting tool, know it points to this new class-leading standard.

What Makes This Version Different?

Here are the standout upgrades and refinements:

• Faster Installation
  Time is money. The new lantern is engineered to be quicker to assemble and install, reducing site labor hours and complexity.
• Enhanced Thermal Performance
  More efficient insulation and improved U-values mean better energy performance for your projects—and happier homeowners.
• Refined Aesthetics
  Slimmer top caps, refined internal sightlines, and a more premium visual casing both inside and out lend it a more elegant, less bulky feel. 
• Integrated LED Lighting
  It now supports fully integrated, dimmable LED lighting, letting designers and installers frame ambient illumination as part of the lantern’s aesthetic, not an afterthought.
• Optimised Cost Structure
  Even with the upgrades, Made For Trade has targeted price points intended to make this new lantern competitive and viable across a wider range of projects.

The promising result is a product that caters not just to homeowners seeking premium daylight features, but also to trade professionals who demand practicality, reliability, and profitability.

Witness the Reveal

The new lantern made its debut at the FIT Show 2025, where attendees—installers, fabricators, specifiers—gathered around live demos of the installation process. The feedback was enthusiastic: many praised the speed, the intuitive assembly, and the refined finishes visible even in a crowded exhibition hall. Made for Trade
