We carry out solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades in Deeside and across the CH5 area. If the room under your lantern overheats in summer or glares, the glass is usually the problem, not the frame.
Is it time for solar control and self-cleaning glass upgrades?
- The room is noticeably hotter than the rest of the house in summer
- Glare on screens or worktops
- Furniture or flooring fading under the lantern
Why it happens
Orientation
South- and west-facing lanterns gain the most heat in the afternoon.
No ventilation
