Questions from Leigh
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.
Can I have a manual opening vent?
Manual vents are rare on lanterns because they are out of reach. Electric operation is standard.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Leigh?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Leigh?
With the midsummer sun about 59.9° high at noon, roof glass in Leigh gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
