Questions from Dumfries
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.
What is the largest square lantern?
Ranges differ. Many go to around 3 m square, with extra hip bars on larger sizes. Tell us your kerb size and we will confirm which ranges can make it.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Dumfries?
With the midsummer sun about 58.4° high at noon, roof glass in Dumfries gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Dumfries?
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.
