Questions from Dalkeith
What is the biggest roof lantern you can supply?
It depends on the range. Some go to about 6 m by 4 m with intermediate rafters. Send us your kerb size and we will confirm what can be made.
Do large lanterns overheat a room?
A large area of south-facing glass can make a room warm on sunny days. Solar-control glass, an opening vent and good background ventilation all help. Our guide on overheating explains the options.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Dalkeith?
Yes. Delivery to Dalkeith (EH22) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Dalkeith?
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.
