Questions from Portrush
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.
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Portrush?
Yes. Delivery to Portrush (BT56) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Portrush?
With the midsummer sun about 58.2° high at noon, roof glass in Portrush gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
