Questions from Troon
What happens if it rains while the vent is open?
With a rain sensor the vent closes automatically. Without one it stays where you left it, so a sensor is worth having.
Does an opening vent let insects in?
When open, yes, as with any window. Some ranges offer fly screens.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Troon?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Troon?
With the midsummer sun about 57.9° high at noon, roof glass in Troon gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
