Anthracite grey roof lanterns for Dover homes
RAL 7016 anthracite grey, a widely chosen colour to match grey doors and windows.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 62.3° high over Dover, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Any other RAL grey on request
- Matches most grey bifold and sliding doors
- White inside to keep ceilings bright

Planning and building regulations for Dover
For homes in England, a new or replacement rooflight should achieve a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K or better in the horizontal position, under Approved Document L.
Lanterns on permitted development extensions are part of the extension's height limits. Adding one to an existing roof is different: over 150 mm of projection can mean a planning application.
Building regulations in Dover are checked by your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. Replacing a rooflight in an existing home is building work. Installers registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify; otherwise building control must be involved.

Questions from Dover
Will anthracite get hot in the sun?
Dark frames absorb more heat than white, but lantern frames are designed for it. The bigger effect on room temperature is the glass, which is why solar-control glass matters on south-facing roofs.
Does anthracite show dirt?
Less than white. Dust and pollen are more visible on dark gloss finishes, which is why most grey lanterns use a matt or textured finish.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Dover?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Dover?
With the midsummer sun about 62.3° high at noon, roof glass in Dover gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
