Questions from Dunoon
Can I have an opening vent in a pyramid lantern?
Some ranges can fit a vent in one of the triangular panes, others cannot. We will tell you on the quote whether your chosen range allows it.
Will a square lantern leak at the top?
It should not when it is correctly installed and maintained. The apex is factory-designed to shed water; leaks usually come from the upstand or roof membrane rather than the lantern itself, which is why the upstand detail matters.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Dunoon?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Dunoon?
With the midsummer sun about 57.5° high at noon, roof glass in Dunoon gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
