Property across Essex runs to 1930s semis, new-build estates and barn conversions — large bifold-plus-lantern rear extensions are the dominant project type — context that genuinely changes what we specify, from glazing coatings to frame colours and fixing details.
Frames are thermally broken aluminium, glazing is 28mm argon-filled with self-clean and solar options, and everything is made to measure. Buy supply-only with kerbside delivery, or have our fitters handle the lot under a written workmanship guarantee.
Meaningfully more — structural laminated glass and engineering calculations drive the price. As a guide, expect two to three times an equivalent fixed flat rooflight; we quote each panel from its size and load class.
Each unit is structurally calculated for its size and use — domestic units are rated for foot traffic with generous safety factors, and higher load classes cover planters, furniture and pavement-level duty. Strength is engineered per panel, not assumed.
Untreated glass can be, so we offer anti-slip finishes: a near-invisible ceramic frit pattern for light use, or sandblasted bands where the panel sits in a main walking route.
That's the classic application — a flush glass panel set into the terrace deck, lighting the room beneath. The kerb takes the load and the perimeter drains with the rest of the terrace.
