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.

Getting the right glass for your building
Solar control
Roof glass gets more sun than any other pane. Solar control or tinted outer panes reduce heat and glare.
Repair or replace the roof
If the roof frame is failing or leaking at the bars, we will say so rather than putting new glass into it.
What the rules say in Scotland
Replacing glass in an existing frame
In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.
Planning permission
Under the Scottish planning system the council decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers in a road or footway need consent from the roads authority, which is normally the council.

Laminated roof and conservatory glass in Cupar: questions
Do you cover St Andrews as well as Cupar?
Yes. As well as Cupar, we can arrange surveys in nearby St Andrews, Leven and Dundee. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can you replace one pane in my roof lantern?
Yes. Each pane is a separate unit, so we can replace one damaged or misted unit and match the rest.
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.
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.
