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
- Shaped units for hipped lanterns
- Replacement of misted or broken roof units
- Units for flat rooflights and walk-on surrounds where specified
- New seals, gaskets and caps refitted to keep the roof watertight
- Matching existing tints where possible
- Laminated inner pane for overhead safety

What to think about first
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.
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.
Consents and safety: 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.
Safety glass in critical locations
In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.

Laminated roof and conservatory glass in Grangemouth: questions
Do you cover Falkirk as well as Grangemouth?
Yes. As well as Grangemouth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Falkirk, Alloa and Bathgate. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can you change my conservatory roof from plastic to glass?
Replacing polycarbonate with glass adds a lot of weight and is a structural change, so it is not part of this service. We can advise once a structural plan is in place.
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.
Can roof glass reduce heat in summer?
Yes. Solar control glass on the outer pane reflects much of the heat, and tints reduce glare.
