Are you looking to bring dynamic natural light and premium architectural style into your property?
At RK Solution Group, we recently completed a comprehensive flat roof overhaul and premium roof lantern installation for a traditional brick property in Edinburgh. This step-by-step gallery showcases our commitment to structural integrity, advanced waterproofing, and high-end finishing touches.
Dive in to see how our skilled team transformed a weathered flat roof into a striking, light-filled architectural masterpiece!
Stripping Back & Structural Assessment
Every long-lasting roof project begins with meticulous preparation. We started by stripping away the old, compromised roof layers to expose the original timber decking.
Our team carefully inspected the structural framework, cut out precise openings for the new roof lights, and reinforced the main structural joists to support the substantial weight of the upcoming premium glazing systems.
Building the Bespoke Upstand Framework
With the structural skeleton sound, we constructed heavy-duty, insulated timber upstands (curbs) using premium OSB and structural timber.
These raised frameworks are critical for flat roof installations in Scotland—they provide the necessary height to shed rainwater efficiently and form a solid, weatherproof foundation for the bespoke glass roof lantern.
Premium Liquid Roofing & Waterproofing
Weatherproofing is paramount in the Lothians. To ensure absolute longevity, we applied a high-performance, seamless liquid roofing membrane across the entire flat roof surface and up the sides of the newly built frames.
This advanced coating forms a continuous, durable, and highly flexible waterproof barrier that protects the building from the harsh Scottish elements while creating a clean, modern aesthetic.
The Ultimate Reveal – Bespoke Glass Roof Lantern Installation
The final phase brings the ultimate architectural payoff. We precisely fitted and sealed a stunning, multi-tiered black aluminum roof lantern onto the structural upstand, alongside an adjacent pitched glazing array.
To elevate the interior space even further, we integrated a bespoke internal ambient LED lighting trough beneath the lantern, throwing a warm, premium glow across the space below.
Uncompromising Quality & Breathtaking Light
The interior view speaks for itself—framing clean Edinburgh skies through a perfectly engineered, energy-efficient glass structure. This project perfectly illustrates what RK Solution Group stands for: uncompromising structural precision, expert weatherproofing, and a luxury finish.
As a vetted Edinburgh Trusted Trader with a perfect 5.0/5 rating, our small but highly dynamic team brings this exact level of dedication to every single home extension, commercial renovation, and structural roof project we undertake across the region.
