Questions from St Andrews
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.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in St Andrews?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to St Andrews?
Yes. Delivery to St Andrews (KY16) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
