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

Getting the right glass for your building
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.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Laminated roof and conservatory glass in Northolt: questions
Do you cover Greenford as well as Northolt?
Yes. As well as Northolt, we can arrange surveys in nearby Greenford, Harrow and Southall. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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 roof glass reduce heat in summer?
Yes. Solar control glass on the outer pane reflects much of the heat, and tints reduce glare.
