Questions from Kirkcaldy
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.
What is the largest square lantern?
Ranges differ. Many go to around 3 m square, with extra hip bars on larger sizes. Tell us your kerb size and we will confirm which ranges can make it.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Kirkcaldy?
With the midsummer sun about 57.3° high at noon, roof glass in Kirkcaldy gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Kirkcaldy?
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.
