Questions from Kirkwall
Will black fade?
Quality powder coatings are designed for UK weather. Matt finishes may show a slight sheen change over many years.
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 you deliver roof lanterns to Kirkwall?
Yes. Delivery to Kirkwall (KW15) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Kirkwall?
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.
