Questions from Oban
Will a square lantern leak at the top?
It should not when it is correctly installed and maintained. The apex is factory-designed to shed water; leaks usually come from the upstand or roof membrane rather than the lantern itself, which is why the upstand detail matters.
Is a pyramid lantern more expensive than a rectangular one?
Per square metre it can cost slightly more, because every pane is a triangle and the apex needs a special joint. The difference is usually small next to the effect of size and glass choice.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Oban?
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 PA34.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Oban?
With the midsummer sun about 57.0° high at noon, roof glass in Oban gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
