Questions from Merthyr Tydfil
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.

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 CF47.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Merthyr Tydfil?
With the midsummer sun about 61.7° high at noon, roof glass in Merthyr Tydfil gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
