The county's housing stock — red-brick terraces and 1930s semis where flat-roof kitchen extensions dominate, with growing demand for slim aluminium lanterns on contemporary builds — shapes our recommendations here more than any brochure could.
You get the same product either way — thermally broken aluminium, self-clean and solar-control glass options, made to the millimetre. The only choice is who fits it: your builder with our documentation, or our own nationwide teams.
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.
