Who makes the upstand weatherproof?
Your roofer, by dressing the roof membrane up the outside of the upstand. The lantern then sits over it.

With the midsummer sun about 58.6° high at noon, roof glass in Ballymena gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
