Questions from Elgin
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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Elgin?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Elgin?
Your local authority building standards (verifier) service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
