Questions from Lerwick
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.
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 Lerwick?
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 Lerwick?
With the midsummer sun about 53.3° high at noon, roof glass in Lerwick gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
