Questions from Dumfries
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 Dumfries?
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 DG1.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Dumfries?
With the midsummer sun about 58.4° high at noon, roof glass in Dumfries gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
