Square roof lanterns for Ripley homes
Four triangular panes meeting at a point: a pyramid lantern for square openings.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 60.4° high over Ripley, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Stock colours or any RAL on request
- Square sizes from about one metre
- No ridge, a neat apex cap instead

Planning and building regulations for Ripley
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.
On a permitted development extension the lantern counts towards the extension's height; on an existing roof, a rooflight projecting more than 150 mm may need planning permission.
Building regulations in Ripley 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.

Questions from Ripley
Is a pyramid lantern more expensive than a rectangular one?
Per square metre it can cost slightly more, because every pane is a triangle and the apex needs a special joint. The difference is usually small next to the effect of size and glass choice.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Ripley?
With the midsummer sun about 60.4° high at noon, roof glass in Ripley gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
