Questions from Musselburgh
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.
Is solar control the same as tinted glass?
Solar-control coatings often look slightly tinted, but the performance comes from the coating, not just the colour.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Musselburgh?
Your local authority building standards (verifier) service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
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.
