Questions from Newtownards
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.
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Newtownards?
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 Newtownards?
With the midsummer sun about 58.8° high at noon, roof glass in Newtownards gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
