Orangery roof lanterns for Inverness homes
The glazed centrepiece of an orangery roof, framed by a solid perimeter.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 56.0° high over Inverness, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Supplied to suit your new upstand
- The glazed heart of an orangery roof
- Sized to leave a solid perimeter border

Planning and building regulations for Inverness
Here the Building (Scotland) Regulations and the domestic Technical Handbook set the standards, with a building warrant usually required for extension work.
Householder permitted development in Scotland has its own rules, and listed buildings and conservation areas need extra care.
Building regulations in Inverness 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 Inverness
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.
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 you deliver roof lanterns to Inverness?
Yes. Delivery to Inverness (IV2) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Inverness?
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.
