Questions from Dalkeith
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.
Can a vent be added later?
Usually not to an existing fixed lantern. Decide before ordering.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Dalkeith?
With the midsummer sun about 57.5° high at noon, roof glass in Dalkeith gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Dalkeith?
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.
