Questions from Bath
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.
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 it worth having solar-control glass in Bath?
With the midsummer sun about 62.1° high at noon, roof glass in Bath gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
