Questions from Antrim
What height should my upstand be?
High enough to keep water away from the lantern seal, commonly at least 150 mm above the finished roof surface. Follow the instructions for your chosen range.
Can I order a lantern before the upstand is built?
Yes, if you build the upstand to the lantern's stated external size. Many people order the lantern and upstand together so they match.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Antrim?
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 Antrim?
With the midsummer sun about 58.7° high at noon, roof glass in Antrim gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
