Questions from Hitchin
Will anthracite get hot in the sun?
Dark frames absorb more heat than white, but lantern frames are designed for it. The bigger effect on room temperature is the glass, which is why solar-control glass matters on south-facing roofs.
Is anthracite grey the same as RAL 7016?
Yes. Some suppliers call it slate grey or charcoal grey, which can cause confusion, so always check the RAL number.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Hitchin?
Yes. Delivery to Hitchin (SG4) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Hitchin?
With the midsummer sun about 61.5° high at noon, roof glass in Hitchin gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
