Glass Roof Structural Design

A glass patio roof allows you to make the most of your outdoor space all year around.

Glass roof structural design.

Glass is very popular in structures such as greenhouses wine cellars stairs and and of course to make a roof for a lovely outdoor terrace. Thte roof must be fastened with brackets that are both installed and specced correctly and every glass roof job must be customized to that particular project. We regularly design and install glass walk on floors and bridges along with structural glass roof lights for precisely this purpose. These beams are toughened and laminated and your structural engineer will calculate the size and strength they need to be.

It could be one design and build firm but you need to confirm an architect is on staff or that the company has access to a third party architect. Structural glass roofs will generally need some type of structural support. Adding these will probably be more expensive but the end effect is stunning the roof is all glazed. It provides protection against the sun rain and wind.

Low iron glass beams can give a great completely transparent horizontal element to a space with frameless detailing at the edges to hide all brackets and fixings to the structural glass beam. In this scheme the glass roof is supported by glass beams. Structural glass floors are not only stunning from a design perspective but also fulfil an important practical purpose allowing light to permeate a structure. All of our glass products are offered on a supply only or supply and installation basis using our experienced fitters.
