Questions from Dudley
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.
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Dudley?
Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Dudley?
With the midsummer sun about 60.9° high at noon, roof glass in Dudley gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
