Daylight across Dumfries and Galloway
The midday sun over Dumfries and Galloway ranges from about 12° at the winter solstice to about 58° at midsummer. Low-angle winter light reaches further into a room through a tall door, which is one reason taller panels are worth considering; on south or west walls, pair them with solar-control glass.
Approvals in Scotland
Scottish building standards still apply to a replacement door even where no warrant is needed, so the door must meet the energy and safety glazing requirements. If the opening is being formed or widened, a building warrant is required before work begins.
