Questions from Castlereagh
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.
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.
Who checks building regulations for a lantern in Castlereagh?
Your district council's building control service. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Castlereagh?
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.
