Questions from Musselburgh
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.
Can I fit a small lantern myself?
Small lanterns are within the reach of a competent builder or roofer. The critical parts are a level, square, weatherproof upstand and the manufacturer's fixing instructions. In existing homes, replacement rooflights are building work that may need building control involvement.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Musselburgh?
With the midsummer sun about 57.5° high at noon, roof glass in Musselburgh gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Musselburgh?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
