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.
Are small lanterns available quickly?
Standard small sizes are often available from stock. Lead times are confirmed on your quote.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Dumfries?
With the midsummer sun about 58.4° high at noon, roof glass in Dumfries gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
