Questions from Ballymoney
Is solar control the same as tinted glass?
Solar-control coatings often look slightly tinted, but the performance comes from the coating, not just the colour.
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Ballymoney?
Your district council's building control service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Ballymoney?
With the midsummer sun about 58.4° high at noon, roof glass in Ballymoney gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
