Questions from Thurso
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.
Can the coating be damaged?
Yes, by abrasive cleaning, some chemicals and silicone. Follow the care instructions supplied with your lantern.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Thurso?
With the midsummer sun about 54.8° high at noon, roof glass in Thurso gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Thurso?
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.
