Can the coating be damaged?
Yes, by abrasive cleaning, some chemicals and silicone. Follow the care instructions supplied with your lantern.

With the midsummer sun about 62.2° high at noon, roof glass in Farnham gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.

Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
