Questions from Glasgow
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.
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 you fit a roof lantern in Glasgow?
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 Glasgow?
With the midsummer sun about 57.6° high at noon, roof glass in Glasgow gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
