Square roof lanterns for Oxford homes
Four triangular panes meeting at a point: a pyramid lantern for square openings.
On the shortest day Oxford gets about 7h 47m of daylight, with the sun only 14.8° above the horizon at noon. Light from the sky overhead is the brightest available in winter, which is exactly what a roof lantern collects.
- Four triangular panes to a single apex
- Square sizes from about one metre
- No ridge, a neat apex cap instead

Planning and building regulations for Oxford
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 Oxford 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 Oxford
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.
