Questions from Aberystwyth
What black is it?
Usually RAL 9005. If your doors are a different black, such as RAL 9004 or 9011, give us the code.
Is a black lantern too dark inside?
The frame is a small part of what you see; the glass dominates. Black frames inside create a graphic grid that many people like. If you want a softer look, choose white inside.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Aberystwyth?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your county or county borough council before ordering.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Aberystwyth?
With the midsummer sun about 61.0° high at noon, roof glass in Aberystwyth gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
