Questions from Largs
Does it help in winter?
Solar control mainly limits summer heat. Winter heat loss is governed by the U-value, which depends on the glazing unit and frame.
Can blinds do the same job?
Internal blinds reduce glare but the heat is already inside the room. Glass that stops the heat at the roof is more effective.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Largs?
With the midsummer sun about 57.6° high at noon, roof glass in Largs gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Largs?
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.
