Questions from Camborne
Can I have a manual opening vent?
Manual vents are rare on lanterns because they are out of reach. Electric operation is standard.
Does an opening vent let insects in?
When open, yes, as with any window. Some ranges offer fly screens.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Camborne?
With the midsummer sun about 63.2° high at noon, roof glass in Camborne gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Camborne?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
