Daylight across Edinburgh and the Lothians
Because Edinburgh and the Lothians sees long summer days (about 17 h 36 min) and short winter ones (about 6 h 58 min), the elevation your door faces makes a real difference. With the midday sun at about 11° in winter, a south-facing door brings light well into the room; a west-facing door catches hot late-afternoon sun in summer.
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.
