Questions from Stornoway
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.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Stornoway?
With the midsummer sun about 55.2° high at noon, roof glass in Stornoway gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Stornoway?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
