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.

With the midsummer sun about 61.2° high at noon, roof glass in Warwick gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
