Opening roof lanterns in Perth and Kinross: questions
Can a vent be added later?
Usually not to an existing fixed lantern. Decide before ordering.
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.
