Questions from Banbury
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.

It can be repainted with suitable systems, but it is far better to choose the right powder-coated colour at the start.
