Questions from Dumfries
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.
Can I get a grey uPVC lantern?
Some ranges offer foiled colours. The choice is narrower than aluminium.
How quickly can I get a roof lantern in Dumfries?
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 DG1.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Dumfries?
With the midsummer sun about 58.4° high at noon, roof glass in Dumfries gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
