Roof lantern question
Roof lanterns… what size is reccommended for the room? I’m planning on putting one in my 3M x 10M extension (split into 3M x 7M dining and 3M x 3M office. I’ve read online 15-20% of the roof space minimum. I’ve also seen pics of houses that are tiny and others massive! Is the 15-20% a good rule of thumb?
Any advice and pictures please share!

Get the biggest you can afford mate.

Depends how much other glass you have in the extension. Get a saps calculation done to make sure

Just fitted 4.5m x 2m in our 14 x 4m and looks fantastic
We’ve added a utility room inside so the kitchen internal size Is smaller but only 2.6x 4m

My neighbours have a fairly large one. I see them climbing the roof in the summer to cover it with ugly tent fabric. Based on this experience I’d advise to be sensible about going for the size, which is too large.

I personally work out what’s looks best front underneath, how big you want the band going around etc

Fitted 2no 1.4m x 3m in a 6m x 6m extension, looks great

Bear-in-mind…often is the case you will need steels in the roof structure for support – greatly adding to costs!
