Questions from Motherwell
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Motherwell?
Yes. Delivery to Motherwell (ML1) 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 Motherwell?
With the midsummer sun about 57.7° high at noon, roof glass in Motherwell gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
