Questions from Altrincham
Can I get a grey uPVC lantern?
Some ranges offer foiled colours. The choice is narrower than aluminium.
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.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Altrincham?
With the midsummer sun about 60.1° high at noon, roof glass in Altrincham gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
