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

Questions from Bloxwich
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Bloxwich?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Bloxwich?
With the midsummer sun about 60.8° high at noon, roof glass in Bloxwich gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
