Black roof lanterns for Harlow homes
RAL 9005 jet black for crisp contrast and steel-look interiors.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 61.7° high over Harlow, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Pairs with steel-look screens and doors
- Usually no surcharge as a stock colour
- Sharp contrast against sky and ceiling

Planning and building regulations for Harlow
England's Approved Document L caps the U-value of new or replacement rooflights in existing homes at 2.2 W/m²K, calculated with the glass horizontal.
On a permitted development extension the lantern counts towards the extension's height; on an existing roof, a rooflight projecting more than 150 mm may need planning permission.
Building regulations in Harlow 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 Harlow
Does black get hotter?
The frame surface does, but the effect on the room is small next to the choice of glass.
Is a black lantern too dark inside?
The frame is a small part of what you see; the glass dominates. Black frames inside create a graphic grid that many people like. If you want a softer look, choose white inside.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Harlow?
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Harlow?
Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
