Questions from Carnoustie
Should the lantern match my bifold doors?
A common choice is to match the outside colour, often anthracite. The inside can be white to keep the ceiling bright.
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 I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Carnoustie?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Carnoustie?
With the midsummer sun about 56.9° high at noon, roof glass in Carnoustie gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
