Questions from Morpeth
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.

With the midsummer sun about 58.3° high at noon, roof glass in Morpeth gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Morpeth?
