Questions from Falmouth
Is a traditional lantern harder to clean?
There are more bars, so there are more edges for dirt to collect along. Self-cleaning glass helps, but a gentle rinse once or twice a year is still worthwhile.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Falmouth?
With the midsummer sun about 63.3° high at noon, roof glass in Falmouth gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
