Questions from Kelso
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.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Kelso?
With the midsummer sun about 57.8° high at noon, roof glass in Kelso gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Kelso?
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.
