Large roof lanterns for Coventry homes
Lanterns of three metres and more for open-plan extensions, with intermediate rafters.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 61.0° high over Coventry, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Intermediate rafters carry the larger glass
- Delivered as a frame kit with glass
- Lengths from about three to six metres

Planning and building regulations for Coventry
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.
Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.
Building regulations in Coventry 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 Coventry
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.
How is a large lantern delivered?
On pallets, usually with the frame and glass packed separately. The heaviest single item is normally a glass unit, which needs two or more people to lift safely.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Coventry?
With the midsummer sun about 61.0° high at noon, roof glass in Coventry gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Coventry?
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.
