Questions from Aberystwyth
What is the biggest roof lantern you can supply?
It depends on the range. Some go to about 6 m by 4 m with intermediate rafters. Send us your kerb size and we will confirm what can be made.
Do large lanterns overheat a room?
A large area of south-facing glass can make a room warm on sunny days. Solar-control glass, an opening vent and good background ventilation all help. Our guide on overheating explains the options.

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 SY23.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Aberystwyth?
With the midsummer sun about 61.0° high at noon, roof glass in Aberystwyth gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
