Questions from Portrush
Does an opening vent let insects in?
When open, yes, as with any window. Some ranges offer fly screens.
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 Portrush?
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 Portrush?
With the midsummer sun about 58.2° high at noon, roof glass in Portrush gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
