Questions from Carnoustie
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.
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Carnoustie?
Yes. Delivery to Carnoustie (DD7) 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 Carnoustie?
With the midsummer sun about 56.9° high at noon, roof glass in Carnoustie gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
