Questions from Skegness
Can a rectangular lantern be made to an exact size?
Yes. Made-to-measure lanterns are built to the external kerb size you give us, usually in 10 mm steps within the range's limits. Made-to-measure takes longer than a stock size and cannot be cancelled once ordered, so measure twice.
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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Skegness?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for PE25.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Skegness?
With the midsummer sun about 60.3° high at noon, roof glass in Skegness gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
