Glass Rooflights For Flat Roofs

Glass rooflights for flat roofs solve a problem that windows cannot. A flat roof has no elevation to glaze, so the only way to bring daylight into the room beneath is through the roof plane itself. Kitchens, extensions, landings and basement conversions all benefit from it.

We manufacture custom roof lights to any dimension and any proportion, with no restriction on size or shape. Choose frameless glass rooflights where sightlines matter most, walk-on glass rooflights where the roof surface is being used, or switchable glass rooflights for privacy on demand. Non-rectangular openings and awkward spans are routine work either way.

All of our rooflights use toughened safety glass as standard, with double or triple glazed argon filled units and warm edge spacer bars to control heat loss. Our flat glass rooflights use a slim aluminium frame, which is often the easier retrofit into an existing opening. Everything is fabricated in house in West Lancashire and dispatched within 10 working days.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the lead time on bespoke glass rooflights?

Ten working days from order to dispatch. We manufacture everything in-house, so there's no waiting on third-party suppliers. If you've got a tight deadline, get in touch and we'll let you know what's realistic.

Is Frameless Glass Suitable For Outdoor Use?

Yes. Frameless glass rooflights are designed specifically for external applications and are built using toughened safety glass with sealed glazing units to handle exposure to the elements. They’re commonly installed on flat roofs, extensions and outdoor spaces where a clean, minimal finish is required. As long as the unit is correctly specified and installed, including proper weatherproofing and drainage, frameless glass performs reliably in outdoor conditions year-round.

Are your glass rooflights thermally efficient?

Yes. Our frameless rooflights come with double or triple glazing, argon-filled cavities and warm edge spacer bars. All of that's designed to minimise heat loss and keep condensation under control. The walk-on and switchable rooflights use a stepped insulated construction that handles thermal performance alongside structural strength. If you're not sure which spec suits your project, talk to us and we'll advise.

Can I walk on a glass rooflight?

On the walk-on and switchable models, yes. They're engineered specifically for it. Three layers of 10mm toughened glass laminated with EVA interlayer gives you a solid 33mm panel rated for foot traffic. Our standard frameless rooflights aren't built to be walked on though. If you need a walkable surface, the walk-on or switchable range is what you're after.

Do I need planning permission for a glass rooflight?

Usually not. Most rooflights on domestic properties fall under permitted development. But there are exceptions, especially with listed buildings, conservation areas, and installations that stick up significantly above the existing roof plane. We've put together a detailed guide on when rooflight planning permission is required so you can check before committing.

Can you make custom roof lights to a non-standard size?

Yes. Every rooflight we make is built to your opening rather than selected from a fixed size range, and there is no restriction on size or shape. Non-rectangular openings and awkward dimensions are routine work for us. Send us the measurements and we will confirm what is achievable before you commit.
