Questions from Inverness
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.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Inverness?
With the midsummer sun about 56.0° high at noon, roof glass in Inverness gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.

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 IV2.
