Questions from Staines-upon-Thames
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Staines-upon-Thames?
Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Staines-upon-Thames?
With the midsummer sun about 62.0° high at noon, roof glass in Staines-upon-Thames gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
