Questions from Kirkcaldy
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.
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.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Kirkcaldy?
Yes. Delivery to Kirkcaldy (KY1) 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 Kirkcaldy?
With the midsummer sun about 57.3° high at noon, roof glass in Kirkcaldy gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
