Questions from Harlow
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 still need to clean self-cleaning glass?
Occasionally. It keeps the glass cleaner for longer, but heavy dirt and droppings still need a gentle rinse, especially in dry spells.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Harlow?
With the midsummer sun about 61.7° high at noon, roof glass in Harlow gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
