Questions from Kettering
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.
How accurate do my measurements need to be?
Accurate to the millimetre on the outside of the kerb, measured at several points. Kerbs are rarely perfectly square, so measure both diagonals too. Our measuring guide shows how.

With the midsummer sun about 61.0° high at noon, roof glass in Kettering gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
