Can a pitched roof have a lantern window fitted?

I'm no expert, but I would think it depends on the roof pitch (very shallow I'd guess)

Yeah, I'm struggling to find anything that suggests you can. All images seem to be for flat roofs. Thank you 😊

Sorry it seems my query re kitchen got lost somewhere in cyberspace. We are redoing this kitchen from scratch and would like some novel ideas especially space/storage solutions. Option of closing off the window, and definitely need a dishwasher included!

I have a tile roof, and they make going mod kind of difficult, but they do add charm.With the sort of earthy color scheme i posted before, you could paint the bricks with masonry paint in a paler tone like sw ancient marble or wash them with a more grayed green so they add taupe tones if you do the chimneys the same - but really, the color resonates with the roof, so use it as color inspiration. Look at 100 year old homes with lines like this and their window mullions - if the upper elements and sides of the larger picture window had muntins / grilles, they would be more charming. Still, you are aiming at retro farmhouse with the muntins, not necessarily authentic historic . . but that gives you some concept about how to go and search for inspiration. You don't have to tear out the entire ramp - could widen "pad/porch" to left and put stairs right down the front depending on car park / depth to roadway design - have your ramp and stairs and just take off the old handrail too . . great for universal design when selling tho railing is not attractive.

Hi, you have a lovely home! I read through your thread, and I like Dar Eckarts suggestion above the best. I think because of the symmetry of it as an H shaped house is symmetrical, and it would also keep the space looking decorated but still open and uncluttered which is what an entrance should be. Sorry, but I don't care for the bookcase idea in an entrance. I also noticed the masks you have, and think it would be great to decorate the space using them as inspiration. Here is a photo to show you the kind of rug I think would work here.

A15) @Dara Cooke: If you can't afford a quartz or granite worktop from day one then I would recommend using a laminate worktop as a temporary solution. If you don't put tiles up as a backsplash then replacing the worktops can be relatively easy in a couple of years.

Hello Jem

All roof lanterns (as in this type of product) must be installed on an upstand constructed on a flat roof.

Roof glazing solutions for pitched roofs will normally be some type of flat rooflight.

This article we wrote may be of interest: https://exactag.co.uk/pitched-roof-glazing-solutions/

I hope this helps with your research!

Best regards,

Keely
