Questions from Westhill
Will white uPVC yellow over time?
Modern uPVC profiles are UV-stabilised and should stay white with normal cleaning. Very old lanterns, especially with polycarbonate panels, are the ones that discolour.
Are uPVC lanterns as good as aluminium?
They do the same job at a lower price, with bulkier frames and fewer colour and size options. For most showpiece extensions aluminium is worth the extra.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Westhill?
With the midsummer sun about 56.3° high at noon, roof glass in Westhill gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Westhill?
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.
