Questions from Peterhead
Will the colour fade?
Polyester powder coatings are designed for outdoor use and hold their colour well. Coastal sites benefit from occasional washing to remove salt deposits.
Do aluminium lanterns get cold and drip?
Thermally broken frames are designed to reduce cold bridging. Condensation can still form if a room is very humid and poorly ventilated, which is why kitchens and bathrooms need extract ventilation.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Peterhead?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Peterhead?
With the midsummer sun about 55.9° high at noon, roof glass in Peterhead gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
