Questions from Taunton
Can I have white inside and anthracite outside?
Yes, that is one of the most common combinations.
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 it worth having solar-control glass in Taunton?
With the midsummer sun about 62.4° high at noon, roof glass in Taunton gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Taunton?
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.
