Questions from Elgin
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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Elgin?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for IV30.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Elgin?
With the midsummer sun about 55.8° high at noon, roof glass in Elgin gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
