Questions from Berwick-upon-Tweed
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 Berwick-upon-Tweed?
With the midsummer sun about 57.7° high at noon, roof glass in Berwick-upon-Tweed gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
