What Are Roof Lanterns?

Roof Lanterns FAQs
Are Roof Lanterns The Same As Skylights?
Roof lanterns are different to skylights as they are designed for flat roofs, and are pitched rather than flat like skylights. The experts at RILU can help you select the right solution for your property.
Do You Need Planning Permission For A Roof Lantern Installation?
Roof lanterns are usually considered a permitted development, meaning you don’t need planning permission, as long as the lantern protrudes less than 150mm from the roof plane, does not obscure side-facing windows and is not higher than the highest part of the roof. For listed buildings or homes in conservation areas, you might need to get permission from your local authority.
Are Roof Lanterns Noisy When It Rains?
High-quality glass roof lanterns, like the ones supplied by RILU, are not noisy when it rains. They are double glazed to ensure they retain heat and reduce noise disturbance in your home.
How Long Does It Take To Fit A Roof Lantern?
Roof lanterns usually take between 1 and 2 days to install, depending on the number of lanterns you need, the type you choose and any access issues our installers might face. Our team will provide you with a timeline and ongoing updates when throughout the installation process.
