Questions from Peterlee
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.

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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Peterlee?
With the midsummer sun about 58.7° high at noon, roof glass in Peterlee gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
