Questions from Kelso
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 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.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Kelso?
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 TD5.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Kelso?
With the midsummer sun about 57.8° high at noon, roof glass in Kelso gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
