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

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.
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.
Consents and safety: 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 Smethwick: questions
Do you cover West Bromwich as well as Smethwick?
Yes. As well as Smethwick, we can arrange surveys in nearby West Bromwich, Birmingham and Halesowen. Dates depend on 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.
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 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.
