Choosing self-cleaning glass roof lanterns in West Yorkshire

A coated outer pane that breaks down dirt in daylight and lets rain wash it away.

Across West Yorkshire, the shortest day brings around 7h 25m of daylight and the midsummer sun reaches about 59.7° at noon. A lantern collects light from the bright overhead sky all year, and the right glass keeps the long summer days comfortable.

Less cleaning on hard-to-reach glass

Planning and building regulations in West Yorkshire

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.

On a permitted development extension the lantern counts towards the extension's height; on an existing roof, a rooflight projecting more than 150 mm may need planning permission.

Building regulations 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.

Self-cleaning glass roof lanterns in West Yorkshire: questions

Does it work under trees?

Less well. Sap and leaf debris build up faster than daylight and rain can deal with them, so lanterns under trees need more regular rinsing.

Is self-cleaning glass the same as solar-control glass?

No. Self-cleaning is a coating that sheds dirt; solar control reduces heat gain. Many lantern units combine both.

Can the coating be damaged?

Yes, by abrasive cleaning, some chemicals and silicone. Follow the care instructions supplied with your lantern.

Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in West Yorkshire?

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.
