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
- Units for flat rooflights and walk-on surrounds where specified
- Safe access with towers or scaffolding where needed
- New seals, gaskets and caps refitted to keep the roof watertight
- Replacement of misted or broken roof units

What to think about first
Self-cleaning outer pane
A self-cleaning coating cuts how often the roof needs washing, which helps where access is awkward.
Solar control
Roof glass gets more sun than any other pane. Solar control or tinted outer panes reduce heat and glare.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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 Caterham: questions
Can you survey in Caterham and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Caterham, Coulsdon and Purley are booked around installer availability.
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 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.
