Can I have cresting without finials, or the other way round?
Usually yes. Ranges treat cresting and finials as options. Tell us what you want and the quote will list each item.

With the midsummer sun about 58.9° high at noon, roof glass in Castlereagh gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
