Questions from Bury St Edmunds
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.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Bury St Edmunds?
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 Bury St Edmunds?
With the midsummer sun about 61.2° high at noon, roof glass in Bury St Edmunds gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
