Questions from Penrith
Can the coating be damaged?
Yes, by abrasive cleaning, some chemicals and silicone. Follow the care instructions supplied with your lantern.
Does it work under trees?
Less well. Sap and leaf debris build up faster than daylight and rain can deal with them, so lanterns under trees need more regular rinsing.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Penrith?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Penrith?
With the midsummer sun about 58.8° high at noon, roof glass in Penrith gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
