Questions from Bow
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 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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Bow?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Bow?
Yes. Delivery to Bow (E3) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
