Laminated roof glass is overhead glazing with a laminated inner pane, so if the glass is broken by impact, a falling branch or an intruder, the pieces stay bonded in place rather than dropping into the room below. It is the usual specification for roof lanterns, flat rooflights and glass conservatory roofs.

What you can specify

Laminated inner pane for overhead safety
Self-cleaning, solar control and blue or neutral tints
Matching existing tints where possible
Shaped units for hipped lanterns
New seals, gaskets and caps refitted to keep the roof watertight
Units for flat rooflights and walk-on surrounds where specified

Things to decide before you order

Access

Most lanterns can be reached from a tower or ladder system. High or steep roofs may need scaffolding, which is itemised in your written quote.

Solar control

Roof glass gets more sun than any other pane. Solar control or tinted outer panes reduce heat and glare.

Rules that apply in England

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Laminated roof and conservatory glass in Devon: questions

Which towns in Devon do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Devon, including Plymouth, Exeter, Paignton, Torquay and Newton Abbot, and in other towns across the area.

Why should roof glass be laminated?

So that if it breaks, the pieces stay in place overhead instead of falling into the room. A laminated inner pane is the usual specification for overhead glazing.

Will laminated roof glass stop someone getting in?

It makes breaking through the roof slow and noisy, so the roof is a much harder way into a single-storey extension.

Can roof glass reduce heat in summer?

Yes. Solar control glass on the outer pane reflects much of the heat, and tints reduce glare.
