Glass roofs offer limitless customisability

It’s easy to assume glass roofs come in only a handful of options – opening or fixed, big or small. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. Glazing technology and production is now so advanced that specialists can design and install roofs with essentially limitless freedom.

This means glass roofs can be subtle or dramatic, designed to fit into almost any space, and they can be designed in any configuration of opening or fixed functionality. Roofs can slide open, pop-up, or pivot, and can be operated manually or remotely. They can also feature almost any kind of glass, including single, double, or even triple glazing.

Glass Roofs boost natural light

We all need natural light, on a daily basis, to feel our best. Our physical and psychological health are both dependent on a multitude of factors, of which natural light is an important one. It directly impacts our body’s ability to produce Vitamin D (which is important for our health), and consistent and regular exposure helps govern our circadian rhythms.

Glass roofs are one of the most effective ways of getting natural light into a space. By offering a portal to the sky from directly above (rather than at a horizontal angle, as with a window), glass roofs flood interior spaces with natural light. They’re a fantastic way to make an interior space more conducive to wellbeing.

True luxury aesthetic

Glass roofs also offer an opportunity to add an authentic luxury aesthetic flair to a property. This is a factor that is dependent on the design, but that proves one of the most compelling propositions for many homeowners.

Using toughened glass, the completely frameless and seamless designs we can now create are evocative of an aspirational lifestyle, and are almost certain to draw the eye in almost any home or space. Whatever the character of a given property, the unobtrusive nature of a glass roof often makes it the perfect luxury addition.

Increase property value

One of the goals of many homeowners is for their home to, eventually, make them some money. Ensuring a property grows in value is a priority for many homeowners, and simply holding out hope for natural growth in market value isn’t always enough. By adding new features to your home – particularly those that make it more efficient, or more visually appealing – you can greatly increase it’s financial worth.

A glass roof can be the perfect installation for this kind of boost to value. This is particularly true if the roof is unique, structural, and beautiful (the better a glass roof looks and the more well-built it is, the more it adds to a home in terms of worth!). While there are no hard and fast calculations to measure any potential increases by (there are too many variables), consultation with an architect or specialist can give you more of an insight.
