Questions from Larne
Can I paint an aluminium lantern later?
It can be repainted with suitable systems, but it is far better to choose the right powder-coated colour at the start.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Larne?
With the midsummer sun about 58.6° high at noon, roof glass in Larne gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Larne?
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.
