Questions from Airdrie
Does a large lantern need structural calculations?
The roof structure around it usually does. Your engineer or building control body will want the lantern's weight and the opening size.
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 Airdrie?
Yes. Delivery to Airdrie (ML6) 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 Airdrie?
With the midsummer sun about 57.6° high at noon, roof glass in Airdrie gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
