Questions from Ross-on-Wye
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Ross-on-Wye?
With the midsummer sun about 61.5° high at noon, roof glass in Ross-on-Wye gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Ross-on-Wye?
