In England, building regulations energy guidance sets a limiting U-value of 2.2 W/m²K for new and replacement rooflights in existing homes, measured horizontally.

Installers registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify; otherwise building control must be involved.

Questions from Sale
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 Sale?
With the midsummer sun about 60.0° high at noon, roof glass in Sale gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Sale?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
