Questions from Harrogate
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 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 Harrogate?
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Harrogate?
With the midsummer sun about 59.4° high at noon, roof glass in Harrogate gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
