Questions from Hoddesdon
Do I need an upstand for a roof lantern?
Yes. Lanterns are designed to sit on an upstand, never directly on the roof deck.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Hoddesdon?
With the midsummer sun about 61.7° high at noon, roof glass in Hoddesdon gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
