Questions from St Andrews
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to St Andrews?
Yes. Delivery to St Andrews (KY16) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in St Andrews?
With the midsummer sun about 57.1° high at noon, roof glass in St Andrews gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
