Questions from Galashiels
Can I have a manual opening vent?
Manual vents are rare on lanterns because they are out of reach. Electric operation is standard.
Can a vent be added later?
Usually not to an existing fixed lantern. Decide before ordering.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Galashiels?
With the midsummer sun about 57.8° high at noon, roof glass in Galashiels gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
