Questions from Glenrothes
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.
Will black fade?
Quality powder coatings are designed for UK weather. Matt finishes may show a slight sheen change over many years.

We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Glenrothes?
With the midsummer sun about 57.2° high at noon, roof glass in Glenrothes gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
