Questions from Barrow-in-Furness
Will a new lantern be warmer?
A modern double glazed lantern with a thermally broken frame loses far less heat than polycarbonate.
My old lantern leaks. Is it the lantern or the roof?
Often the roof or kerb detailing. A survey or close inspection will tell. If the lantern is the problem, replacing it is usually better value than repairing old polycarbonate.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Barrow-in-Furness?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Barrow-in-Furness?
With the midsummer sun about 59.3° high at noon, roof glass in Barrow-in-Furness gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
