Questions from Chippenham
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.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Chippenham?
With the midsummer sun about 62.0° high at noon, roof glass in Chippenham gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
