Questions from Portrush
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.
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 Portrush?
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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Portrush?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for BT56.
