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
Self-cleaning outer pane
A self-cleaning coating cuts how often the roof needs washing, which helps where access is awkward.
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 England
Planning permission
Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Laminated roof and conservatory glass in Streatham: questions
Which areas near Streatham do you cover?
We can arrange work in Streatham and in nearby Mitcham (2 miles), Brixton (3 miles) and Wimbledon (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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 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.
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.
