Questions from Kelso
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.
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Kelso?
Your local authority building standards (verifier) service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Kelso?
With the midsummer sun about 57.8° high at noon, roof glass in Kelso gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
