Questions from Oban
What happens if it rains while the vent is open?
With a rain sensor the vent closes automatically. Without one it stays where you left it, so a sensor is worth having.
Does an opening vent let insects in?
When open, yes, as with any window. Some ranges offer fly screens.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Oban?
Yes. Delivery to Oban (PA34) 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 Oban?
With the midsummer sun about 57.0° high at noon, roof glass in Oban gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
