Questions from Acton
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.
Can I add a lantern to my existing orangery roof?
If the roof has a suitable opening and upstand, yes. If not, the roof needs structural alteration first, which is a job for a builder with an engineer's input.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Acton?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Acton?
With the midsummer sun about 61.9° high at noon, roof glass in Acton gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
