Questions from Pimlico
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.

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.

Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Pimlico?
