Questions from Renfrew
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.
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.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Renfrew?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Renfrew?
With the midsummer sun about 57.6° high at noon, roof glass in Renfrew gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
