Questions from Lerwick
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 Lerwick?
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 ZE1.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Lerwick?
Yes. Delivery to Lerwick (ZE1) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
