Rectangular roof lanterns for Rugby homes
The classic double-hipped lantern: a ridge, four sloping sides and the most size choice.
At 52.37°N, Rugby sees roughly 7h 40m of daylight in late December and 16h 48m in late June. A lantern faces the bright overhead sky all year, so it brings in useful light even on the short, grey days.
- Standard sizes or made to your kerb
- Intermediate rafters added on longer lengths
- Ridge along the long axis, four glazed slopes

Planning and building regulations for Rugby
England's Approved Document L caps the U-value of new or replacement rooflights in existing homes at 2.2 W/m²K, calculated with the glass horizontal.
Lanterns on permitted development extensions are part of the extension's height limits. Adding one to an existing roof is different: over 150 mm of projection can mean a planning application.
Building regulations in Rugby are checked by your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. Replacing a rooflight in an existing home is building work. Installers registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify; otherwise building control must be involved.

Questions from Rugby
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.
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Rugby?
Yes. Delivery to Rugby (CV21) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Rugby?
With the midsummer sun about 61.1° high at noon, roof glass in Rugby gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
