Glass roof

8 years ago

I love the glass roof you have used. Could you let me know where I could source it from and roughly how much would it cost

The construction was carried out under a design and build framework, so the final choice of manufacturer was not ours. We specified an aluminium double glazed system. This installation is south facing and adequate openers for free venting is an important issue. Try companies such as Everest, Duration or indeed Design Bifolds for quotations.

All the best with the project.

Lisa, I think you are right to be pushing for a flat roof life. I'm a great believer in getting the structure and natural lighting correct, even if it absorbs a little more of your budget. Flat rooflights offer far crisper lines and in my mind a better quality of natural light. We have used both EOS and Glazing Vision before; with little to distinguish between the two. Generally flat rooflights come in a slate grey finish (RAL7015) exerteranally as standard, and the internal finish is white (if using upstand; otherwise the plasterboard is fitted up to window and obviously painted whatever colour you choose). Regards, Simon

privacy with glass roof

Hi, I would consider killing the two birds with one cheaper stone, so therefore might be worth investigating conservatory/solar control glass instead of switching glass. It would be a lot cheaper and last longer as well as actually reducing the solar gain from the roof. Switching glass will have almost no effect on the solar gain, but tinted glass definitely would as well as adding privacy. With regards to blinds, unfortunately we are temporarily without a supplier for roof light blinds. But there are several manufacturers. Just pick the right blind for you, and if possible try to get either a Somfy or Lutron system as they are both very good. The blind will be your best solution for privacy at night as once backlit both tinted and mirrored security glass become fully see through. I hope this helps, Jeff @ HBD

We got ours from Apple Blinds which is local to where we are in the North West. They are battery powered so didn’t need to be wired in. They operate by remote control which is attached to the wall with a discrete bracket and looks a bit like a smart home monitor I think. They need charging only once every few months. They charge by plugging in to charger for a few hours. The blinds when open are also very discrete but you should check whether they can be attached around your window frames. I agree with others that open glass is nice but I think for security purposes it is a good idea to have something for when you are away or over night etc

Do you have an architect and structural engineer? They should advise on what’s possible given the structural constraints of the project.
