Questions from Stroud
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.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Stroud?
With the midsummer sun about 61.7° high at noon, roof glass in Stroud gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Stroud?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
