Flat rooflights for Bournemouth homes
A single near-flat pane on an upstand: minimal, low and discreet.
At 50.72°N, Bournemouth sees roughly 7h 57m of daylight in late December and 16h 30m in late June. A lantern faces the bright overhead sky all year, so it brings in useful light even on the short, grey days.
- Sized to your upstand
- Minimal, frameless-looking from inside
- Very low profile from outside

Planning and building regulations for Bournemouth
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 Bournemouth 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.
