Questions from South Benfleet
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.

With the midsummer sun about 61.9° high at noon, roof glass in South Benfleet gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
