Frequently asked Questions
A roof lantern is a glazed structure installed on a flat or low-pitched roof to allow natural light to flood into the space below.
In most cases, you don't need planning permission for a roof lantern if it's part of a permitted development—typically when it's installed on a single-storey extension and doesn’t project more than 150mm above the existing roof slope or exceed the highest part of the roof. However, if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the lantern's size and placement go beyond permitted development rules, you may need to apply for planning permission. Always check with your local planning authority to be sure.
Roof lanterns are typically designed for flat roofs, but they can be adapted for pitched roofs with a custom upstand to create a level base. The angle, waterproofing, and structural integrity must all be considered to ensure a secure and weatherproof fit.
As a short answer, no. Our roof lanterns are expertly designed for exceptional thermal efficiency. Thanks to their innovative thermally broken structure, they help retain warmth during the winter and release excess heat in the summer—keeping your home comfortable throughout the year.
Improper installation of roof lanterns can lead to leakage problems. That’s why we always recommend using a reliable and experienced installer. Our roof lanterns are expertly engineered to endure extreme weather conditions, reducing the risk of leaks. Plus, they’re designed for hassle-free installation, helping you avoid any unnecessary complications.
The size of your roof lantern should be selected based on your space requirements and custom needs. For more help, get in touch with our team today on info@ukrooflights.co.uk.
Yes, roof lanterns are a great idea if you want to add natural light and a feeling of openness to a space. They’re especially popular in extensions and flat-roof areas, creating a striking architectural feature while brightening up interiors throughout the day.
No, roof lanterns don’t open. They are fixed structures designed purely to let in natural light.
The cost of roof lanterns can vary widely depending on the size, material, glazing type, and manufacturer. Larger, high-spec designs are usually more expensive, so it’s worth budgeting accordingly.
