Questions from Finchley
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Finchley?
With the midsummer sun about 61.8° high at noon, roof glass in Finchley gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
