Lantern upstands for Liverpool projects
Insulated upstands and kerbs that raise the lantern above the roof finish.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 60.0° high over Liverpool, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Roof membrane dressed up the outside

Planning and building regulations for Liverpool
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.
Planning-wise, a lantern on a new extension is judged as part of that extension, while one added to an existing roof can fall outside permitted development if it stands more than 150 mm proud.
Building regulations in Liverpool 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 Liverpool
Who makes the upstand weatherproof?
Your roofer, by dressing the roof membrane up the outside of the upstand. The lantern then sits over it.
Do I need an upstand for a roof lantern?
Yes. Lanterns are designed to sit on an upstand, never directly on the roof deck.
