Rectangular roof lanterns for Bearsden homes
The classic double-hipped lantern: a ridge, four sloping sides and the most size choice.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 57.5° high over Bearsden, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Ridge along the long axis, four glazed slopes
- Standard sizes or made to your kerb
- Stock anthracite, black or white, or any RAL

Planning in Scotland follows the Scottish permitted development order; your council confirms whether your lantern needs consent.

Questions from Bearsden
Does a longer lantern need extra support?
Long lanterns use intermediate rafters inside the lantern itself. The roof structure around the opening must be designed to carry the lantern's weight; your builder or engineer sizes the trimmers.
Which way should the ridge run?
The ridge runs along the longer side. On a square opening there is no ridge and the lantern becomes a pyramid.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Bearsden?
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Bearsden?
Your local authority building standards (verifier) service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
