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.
Glass and fitting options
- Laminated inner pane for overhead safety
- Shaped units for hipped lanterns
- Self-cleaning, solar control and blue or neutral tints
- Replacement of misted or broken roof units

Things to decide before you order
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.
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.
Rules that apply 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.
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 Blackburn: questions
Can you survey in Blackburn and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Blackburn, Darwen and Accrington are booked around 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 roof glass reduce heat in summer?
Yes. Solar control glass on the outer pane reflects much of the heat, and tints reduce glare.
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.
