Questions from St Andrews
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.
Can the coating be damaged?
Yes, by abrasive cleaning, some chemicals and silicone. Follow the care instructions supplied with your lantern.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in St Andrews?
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 KY16.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in St Andrews?
With the midsummer sun about 57.1° high at noon, roof glass in St Andrews gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
