Questions from Boston
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 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 it worth having solar-control glass in Boston?
With the midsummer sun about 60.5° high at noon, roof glass in Boston gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
