Orangery roof lanterns for Edinburgh homes
The glazed centrepiece of an orangery roof, framed by a solid perimeter.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 57.5° high over Edinburgh, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Contemporary or traditional styling
- Sized to leave a solid perimeter border

Planning and building regulations for Edinburgh
Here the Building (Scotland) Regulations and the domestic Technical Handbook set the standards, with a building warrant usually required for extension work.
Your council will confirm whether your lantern is permitted development under Scotland's rules, particularly for listed buildings.
Building regulations in Edinburgh are checked by your local authority building standards (verifier) service. Some like-for-like replacement work does not need a building warrant but must still meet the building standards. Your council's building standards service can confirm.

Questions from Edinburgh
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.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Edinburgh?
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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Edinburgh?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for EH1.
