Questions from Omagh
Can a vent be added later?
Usually not to an existing fixed lantern. Decide before ordering.
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 Omagh?
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 Omagh?
With the midsummer sun about 58.8° high at noon, roof glass in Omagh gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
