Questions from Arbroath
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.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Arbroath?
With the midsummer sun about 56.9° high at noon, roof glass in Arbroath gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Arbroath?
Yes. Delivery to Arbroath (DD11) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
