Questions from Newtownabbey
Can I have a manual opening vent?
Manual vents are rare on lanterns because they are out of reach. Electric operation is standard.
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Newtownabbey?
Your district council's building control service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Newtownabbey?
With the midsummer sun about 58.8° high at noon, roof glass in Newtownabbey gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
