Questions from Musselburgh
Does a longer lantern need extra support?
Long lanterns use intermediate rafters inside the lantern itself. The roof structure around the opening must be designed to carry the lantern's weight; your builder or engineer sizes the trimmers.
Which way should the ridge run?
The ridge runs along the longer side. On a square opening there is no ridge and the lantern becomes a pyramid.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Musselburgh?
Yes. Delivery to Musselburgh (EH21) 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 Musselburgh?
With the midsummer sun about 57.5° high at noon, roof glass in Musselburgh gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
