Questions from Lerwick
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.
Is aluminium recyclable?
Yes, aluminium can be recycled repeatedly. Ask your local waste site about the glass and seals, which are handled separately.

With the midsummer sun about 53.3° high at noon, roof glass in Lerwick gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
