Questions from Belfast
Can the coating be damaged?
Yes, by abrasive cleaning, some chemicals and silicone. Follow the care instructions supplied with your lantern.
Is self-cleaning glass the same as solar-control glass?
No. Self-cleaning is a coating that sheds dirt; solar control reduces heat gain. Many lantern units combine both.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Belfast?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for BT1.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Belfast?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district council before ordering.
