White roof lanterns in County Down: questions
Does a white lantern show dirt?
Outside, white shows dirt more than grey. Self-cleaning glass helps with the glass, and the frames benefit from an occasional wash.
Is white cheaper?
White is a stock colour, so it costs the same as the other stock colours.
Can I have white inside and anthracite outside?
Yes, that is one of the most common combinations.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in County Down?
Your district council's building control service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
