Questions from Newton Mearns
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.
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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Newton Mearns?
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 G77.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Newton Mearns?
With the midsummer sun about 57.7° high at noon, roof glass in Newton Mearns gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
