Questions from Inverness
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.
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 it worth having solar-control glass in Inverness?
With the midsummer sun about 56.0° high at noon, roof glass in Inverness gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Inverness?
Yes. Delivery to Inverness (IV2) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
