Frequently Asked Questions – Roof Lanterns
Commonly asked questions. For more information, please don’t hesitate to contact one of our reps.
Do I need planning permission to install a roof lantern?
In most cases, no planning permission is required, as roof lanterns fall under permitted development — provided they don’t project more than 150mm above the roofline and don’t exceed the highest point of your roof. However, for listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, we recommend checking with your local authority or speaking to our team for tailored advice.
What size roof lantern should I choose?
The ideal size depends on the room, roof space available, and how much natural light you want to bring in. At Zenix Glass, we offer both standard sizes and made-to-measure roof lanterns to suit your exact specifications. If you’re unsure, we’ll help you find the right dimensions to complement your space and maximise light.
Are roof lanterns energy efficient?
Yes, our roof lanterns are designed with thermally broken frames and high-performance glazing to deliver outstanding insulation. You can choose double or triple glazing, as well as options with solar control and self-cleaning coatings. This helps regulate indoor temperatures, reduce energy bills, and prevent heat loss.
What maintenance is required for a roof lantern?
Thanks to self-cleaning glass and durable powder-coated frames, maintenance is minimal. The self-cleaning coating helps rainwater wash away dirt and debris, keeping your lantern clean with little effort. For standard glass, a gentle clean every few months with warm soapy water or a glass cleaner will keep it looking like new.
