Questions from Elgin
Are small lanterns available quickly?
Standard small sizes are often available from stock. Lead times are confirmed on your quote.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Elgin?
With the midsummer sun about 55.8° high at noon, roof glass in Elgin gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Elgin?
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.
