Questions from Elgin
Will I see a drawing before it is made?
For made-to-measure and special shapes, yes: the order is based on a drawing you approve, so the size you check is the size that gets made.
Do bespoke lanterns cost much more?
For simple rectangles the premium over a stock size is usually modest. Special shapes cost more because each one is engineered individually.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Elgin?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Elgin?
With the midsummer sun about 55.8° high at noon, roof glass in Elgin gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
