Questions from Falkirk
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.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Falkirk?
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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Falkirk?
Stock sizes are typically ready in 5–10 working days, made-to-measure in 3–4 weeks, plus delivery. Your quote gives the date for FK1.
