Frequently Asked Questions About Structural Glass Roofs
What is a structural glass roof?
A structural glass roof is a bespoke glazed roofing system designed with minimal visible structure to maximise natural light and create clean contemporary architectural lines. They look amazing and create beautiful light-fllled spaces but need to be installed by expert glass structural engineers to ensure they don’t leak, are thermally efficient and suitable for the space.
Are structural glass roofs energy efficient?
Yes. Modern structural glass roofs incorporate thermally efficient glazing, solar control technology and thermally broken structural systems to help regulate internal temperatures year-round.
Can glass roofs be used in extensions?
Absolutely. Structural glass roofs are widely used within contemporary kitchen extensions, rear extensions and open-plan renovations to introduce significantly more natural light into the home.
What types of glass are available?
Options include heated glass, solar control glazing, laminated safety glass and high-performance double or triple glazing systems.
What is the difference between clear glass and solar glass?
Solar control glass helps reduce solar heat gain by reflecting a significant proportion of the sun’s energy. This can help keep rooms cooler during warmer months while still allowing plenty of natural light into your home.
Is solar glass worth it?
For roof glazing, absolutely. Solar control glass helps reduce overheating and improve comfort. For windows and doors, suitability depends on factors such as orientation, glazing size, and sun exposure. Our team can advise on the best solution for your project.
What is the difference between toughened and laminated glass?
What is toughened safety glass?
Toughened glass is a type of safety glass that is significantly stronger than standard glass. In the unlikely event it breaks, it fragments into small blunt pieces rather than dangerous shards.
What is self cleaning glass?
Self-cleaning glass features a special coating that helps break down dirt and allows rainwater to wash it away more effectively. We typically include self-cleaning and solar control glass as standard on our roof glazing systems.
Will roof glazing make my home too hot?
No. Our roof glazing systems typically incorporate solar control glass designed to minimise overheating while maximising natural daylight.
Can you provide 3D drawings and visualisations?
Yes. For many of our architectural glazing projects, we can provide detailed drawings and visualisations to help you understand the final design before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Lanterns and Skylights
What is the difference between a roof lantern and a skylight?
Roof lanterns have a raised lantern style feature capturing light from several directions, whilst skylights can refer to a wider range of flat glazed roof window systems installed within pitched or contemporary roof structures.
Are frameless skylights available?
Yes. Frameless skylights minimise visible framework internally and externally to create cleaner contemporary detailing.
Can roof lanterns open for ventilation?
Yes. Electric opening roof lanterns and ventilated roof light systems are available for projects requiring additional airflow and temperature control.
Are roof lanterns and skylights suitable for modern extensions?
Roof lanterns and skylights are widely used within contemporary extensions to maximise natural light and improve the overall feeling of openness within the home.
