Questions from Belfast
Is aluminium recyclable?
Yes, aluminium can be recycled repeatedly. Ask your local waste site about the glass and seals, which are handled separately.
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 I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Belfast?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district council before ordering.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Belfast?
With the midsummer sun about 58.8° high at noon, roof glass in Belfast gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
