Questions from Montrose
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Montrose?
With the midsummer sun about 56.7° high at noon, roof glass in Montrose gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Montrose?
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.
