Choosing solar-control roof lanterns in Merseyside

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

Across Merseyside, the shortest day brings around 7h 29m of daylight and the midsummer sun reaches about 60.0° at noon. A lantern collects light from the bright overhead sky all year, and the right glass keeps the long summer days comfortable.

  • Combined with a self-cleaning outer pane
  • Cuts summer heat gain through the roof
  • Neutral or blue tints
  • Recommended on south and west roofs

Delivery and fitting in Merseyside

Planning and building regulations in Merseyside

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 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 Merseyside: questions

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.

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.

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.

Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Merseyside?

Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
