Questions from Canterbury
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.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Canterbury?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Canterbury?
With the midsummer sun about 62.2° high at noon, roof glass in Canterbury gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
