No — modern aluminium roof lanterns and glass roof lanterns are designed to stay warm. They use high-performance double glazing that creates a thermally insulating air pocket to prevent heat escaping in colder weather.
The aluminium frames also feature thermally broken profiles sealed with specialist resin or silicone, stopping cold transferring through the frame. This makes roof lanterns energy-efficient, comfortable year-round, and ideal for flat roof extensions or kitchen-diner spaces.

Rain noise on rooflights is generally minimal, especially when using double glazed or triple glazed rooflights, which absorb sound effectively. Like any glass window, some natural patter is expected, but many homeowners find it adds a calming ambience rather than disruption — making roof skylights for flat roofs a relaxing feature in living spaces.

In most cases, you don’t need planning permission for roof lanterns, as long as specific size and placement conditions are met. Roof lanterns typically fall under permitted development, provided they don’t exceed the highest part of the roof or extend too far above it. However, it’s always wise to check with your local planning authority before installation to ensure full compliance.
