Questions from Irvine
Can I have a contemporary lantern in white?
Yes, though most buyers choose grey or black because the slimmer frame is the point and dark frames disappear against the sky.
Is a contemporary lantern the same as a flat rooflight?
No. A contemporary lantern still has sloping glass and a ridge or apex; it simply has slimmer frames and fewer bars. A flat rooflight is a single, nearly flat pane of glass on an upstand.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Irvine?
Yes. Delivery to Irvine (KA12) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Irvine?
With the midsummer sun about 57.8° high at noon, roof glass in Irvine gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
