Questions from Portrush
Can I replace polycarbonate panels with glass?
Usually not in the old frame: glass is much heavier than polycarbonate and the frame was not designed for it. Replacing the whole lantern is the safer route.
Will a new lantern be warmer?
A modern double glazed lantern with a thermally broken frame loses far less heat than polycarbonate.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Portrush?
With the midsummer sun about 58.2° high at noon, roof glass in Portrush gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
