Questions from Motherwell
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 Motherwell?
With the midsummer sun about 57.7° high at noon, roof glass in Motherwell gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Motherwell?
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.
