Questions from Pontypridd
Who makes the upstand weatherproof?
Your roofer, by dressing the roof membrane up the outside of the upstand. The lantern then sits over it.
Do I need an upstand for a roof lantern?
Yes. Lanterns are designed to sit on an upstand, never directly on the roof deck.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Pontypridd?
With the midsummer sun about 61.8° high at noon, roof glass in Pontypridd gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
