Questions from Forfar
Do you make timber traditional lanterns?
Our range is aluminium and uPVC. Aluminium can be powder-coated in heritage colours that suit timber windows and doors.
Is a traditional lantern harder to clean?
There are more bars, so there are more edges for dirt to collect along. Self-cleaning glass helps, but a gentle rinse once or twice a year is still worthwhile.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Forfar?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council before ordering.
Do you deliver roof lanterns to Forfar?
Yes. Delivery to Forfar (DD8) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
