Solar-control roof lanterns in County Antrim: questions
Does it help in winter?
Solar control mainly limits summer heat. Winter heat loss is governed by the U-value, which depends on the glazing unit and frame.
Will solar-control glass make the room dark?
It lets slightly less light through than clear glass, but a roof lantern admits so much daylight that most people do not notice the difference.
Can blinds do the same job?
Internal blinds reduce glare but the heat is already inside the room. Glass that stops the heat at the roof is more effective.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in County Antrim?
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.
