Flat rooflights for Harwich homes
A single near-flat pane on an upstand: minimal, low and discreet.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 61.5° high over Harwich, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Fixed or electric opening versions
- Usually cheaper than a lantern
