Questions from Merthyr Tydfil
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Merthyr Tydfil?
With the midsummer sun about 61.7° high at noon, roof glass in Merthyr Tydfil gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Merthyr Tydfil?
Your local authority building control team. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
