Questions from Cardiff
What black is it?
Usually RAL 9005. If your doors are a different black, such as RAL 9004 or 9011, give us the code.
Does black get hotter?
The frame surface does, but the effect on the room is small next to the choice of glass.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Cardiff?
With the midsummer sun about 62.0° high at noon, roof glass in Cardiff gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
