And drain laid beneath

We are in pursuit of AHA Garage doors whom we saw at the Kent Show about Entrance doors. Hopefully we shall see them soon.

Velux have some Roof lanterns using curved glass (or flat) with motorised opening, venting and curtains.  Our friends have found them cost competitive with lanterns as they are only available in stock sizes.

That’s also the downside for us – as we want two at 1000×600 and at that part of the size range they only have square units.  We might at a push be able to do 900×900 to replace 1000×600, but it might be tricky with the hidden roof installation.

However we have priced up a curved glass 900×900 and it comes in at £1250.  A 600×600 comes up at £1075 so 800×800 would be in between. It seems to me though that the problem we are trying to fix is getting more light into the north side of the building, so reducing the roof lanterns makes less sense. The ability to have motorised blinds is attractive.

Now for the bigger 1500×1000 lantern over the dining room, always in shade, it might be interesting. In flat glass this came out at £1478 and for curved glass £1640.  So when we see the Sunsquare prices that will be a moment for thought.
