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

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.

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 West Sussex: questions

Which towns in West Sussex do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in West Sussex, including Crawley, Worthing, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and Horsham, and in other towns across the area.

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.

Can roof glass reduce heat in summer?

Yes. Solar control glass on the outer pane reflects much of the heat, and tints reduce glare.
