Solar-control roof lanterns for Cowes homes
Glass that cuts solar heat gain and glare so the room stays comfortable.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 62.7° high over Cowes, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Neutral or blue tints
- Reduces glare over kitchens and TVs

Planning and building regulations for Cowes
For homes in England, a new or replacement rooflight should achieve a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K or better in the horizontal position, under Approved Document L.
Lanterns on permitted development extensions are part of the extension's height limits. Adding one to an existing roof is different: over 150 mm of projection can mean a planning application.
Building regulations in Cowes are checked by your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. Replacing a rooflight in an existing home is building work. Installers registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify; otherwise building control must be involved.

Questions from Cowes
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.
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.
