Questions from Glasgow
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Glasgow?
With the midsummer sun about 57.6° high at noon, roof glass in Glasgow gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Glasgow?
Yes. Delivery to Glasgow (G1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
