Questions from Stranraer
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 aluminium recyclable?
Yes, aluminium can be recycled repeatedly. Ask your local waste site about the glass and seals, which are handled separately.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Stranraer?
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.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Stranraer?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
