Questions from Portrush
Are contemporary lanterns weaker?
They are engineered for the sizes they are sold in. That is exactly why their maximum sizes are often smaller: the frame is slimmer, so each range has its own limits.
Do contemporary lanterns cost more?
Usually a little more per size than a standard range, because the bigger glass units cost more to make and handle.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Portrush?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for BT56.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Portrush?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district council before ordering.
