Questions from Runcorn
What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?
A conservatory has a mostly glazed roof; an orangery has a mostly solid roof with a lantern in the middle and usually more solid wall. Orangeries are easier to keep comfortable year round.
Do orangery lanterns come with cresting?
They can. Cresting and finials are options on traditional ranges.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Runcorn?
With the midsummer sun about 60.1° high at noon, roof glass in Runcorn gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Runcorn?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
