Questions from Irvine
Will a traditional lantern need planning permission?
The style does not change the planning position; size, height and location do. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the main cases where consent is more likely to be needed.
Can I have cresting without finials, or the other way round?
Usually yes. Ranges treat cresting and finials as options. Tell us what you want and the quote will list each item.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Irvine?
With the midsummer sun about 57.8° high at noon, roof glass in Irvine gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Irvine?
Yes. Delivery to Irvine (KA12) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
