Questions from Herne Bay
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.
Can I have an opening vent in a pyramid lantern?
Some ranges can fit a vent in one of the triangular panes, others cannot. We will tell you on the quote whether your chosen range allows it.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Herne Bay?
With the midsummer sun about 62.1° high at noon, roof glass in Herne Bay gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Herne Bay?
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 CT6.
