Flat rooflights for Dunoon homes
A single near-flat pane on an upstand: minimal, low and discreet.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 57.5° high over Dunoon, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Very low profile from outside
- Sized to your upstand
- Fixed or electric opening versions

Questions from Dunoon
Are flat rooflights cheaper than lanterns?
Usually, size for size. They use one glass unit and a simple frame.
Do flat rooflights leak?
They should not, provided they are installed on a properly flashed upstand with the right fall and the seals are maintained.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Dunoon?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Dunoon?
Your local authority building standards (verifier) service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
