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 to think about first

Solar control

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

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: England

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.

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 Rickmansworth: questions

Which areas near Rickmansworth do you cover?

We can arrange work in Rickmansworth and in nearby Watford (4 miles), Chalfont St Peter (4 miles) and Gerrards Cross (5 miles). 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.

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.

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.
