Questions from Lerwick
How long does replacement take on site?

A modern double glazed lantern with a thermally broken frame loses far less heat than polycarbonate.

Is it worth having solar-control glass in Lerwick?
With the midsummer sun about 53.3° high at noon, roof glass in Lerwick gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
