Choosing solar-control roof lanterns in Lancashire

Glass that cuts solar heat gain and glare so the room stays comfortable.

Across Lancashire, the shortest day brings around 7h 25m of daylight and the midsummer sun reaches about 59.7° at noon. A lantern collects light from the bright overhead sky all year, and the right glass keeps the long summer days comfortable.

Planning and building regulations in Lancashire

England's Approved Document L caps the U-value of new or replacement rooflights in existing homes at 2.2 W/m²K, calculated with the glass horizontal.

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 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.

Solar-control roof lanterns in Lancashire: questions

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.

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.

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

Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
