Questions from Pitsea
Do I need triple glazing to meet building regulations?
Not usually. Well-specified double glazed lanterns generally meet the limiting values for rooflights. Triple glazing is an upgrade, not normally a requirement. Your building control body can confirm for your project.
Can I have triple glazing with solar control?
Yes. Triple units usually include a solar-control or neutral coating.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Pitsea?
With the midsummer sun about 61.9° high at noon, roof glass in Pitsea gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Pitsea?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
