Questions from Ballymena
Will solar-control glass make the room dark?
It lets slightly less light through than clear glass, but a roof lantern admits so much daylight that most people do not notice the difference.
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 Ballymena?
With the midsummer sun about 58.6° high at noon, roof glass in Ballymena gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Ballymena?
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.
