KATpod is the slimmest, strongest, most

thermally efficient Roof Lantern in Europe,

and space in your home with magnificent

aerial views.

We offer solutions for all property types; from sensitive

period buildings in conservation areas, spa’s and

atriums, to modern new build properties, extensions

and refurbishment projects. You choose the frame

colours, glass tint and roof size to suit your property,

we do the rest.

We have a passion for stylish aesthetics, engineering

excellence and unparalleled thermal performance,

which allows us to guarantee all our products.

KATpod has been designed for year-round comfort with

almost zero maintenance as it is the most thermally

efficiency Lantern on the market. It comes as standard

ordering is simple – up to a maximum of 5 metres wide,

with almost no length limitations.

KATpod is available in White or Anthracite Grey as

standard, or you can choose from any RAL colour.

Glazing is available in either clear glass or glass with a

blue tint. Your selection should be influenced by the

style of your property, surrounding architecture and

your other windows and doors.

equal amount of reliability.” AnTon PeCk
