Rectangular roof lanterns for Buckie homes
The classic double-hipped lantern: a ridge, four sloping sides and the most size choice.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 55.8° high over Buckie, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.

Questions from Buckie
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Buckie?
With the midsummer sun about 55.8° high at noon, roof glass in Buckie gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Buckie?
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.
