Square roof lanterns for Pontefract homes
Four triangular panes meeting at a point: a pyramid lantern for square openings.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 59.7° high over Pontefract, 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
- Ideal over a table, island or hallway

Planning and building regulations for Pontefract
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 Pontefract 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 Pontefract
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.
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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Pontefract?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for WF8.
