Questions from Larne
Does a small lantern need an opening vent?
Not usually. Background ventilation for the room can come from trickle vents or extract fans. Vents are more useful on lanterns over kitchens and large living spaces.
What is the smallest roof lantern?
Many ranges start at around 800–1000 mm. Below that, a flat rooflight is usually the better product.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Larne?
With the midsummer sun about 58.6° high at noon, roof glass in Larne gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Larne?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district council before ordering.
