Questions from Stornoway
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.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Stornoway?
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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Stornoway?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
