Walk on Skylights

Our walk on rooflights feature a robust toughened and laminated outer pane and are designated CWCT TN92 Class O Non-Fragile. We ensure we source top quality glass for our walk on skylights, all manufactured to the highest British Standards, all with optional anti-slip patterns available. Exceeding usual domestic standards, our walk on rooflights are built to withstand a 2500N/m2 uniform distributed load and a 2000N concentrated load for maximum safety. Non-standard shapes and sizes are available including continuous multi-pane versions and a range of glass options include blue, grey or neutral solar control and satin privacy glass for when rooflights are overlooked.

All of our walk on roof lights are made using special walk-on glazing made by premier materials specialist Lonsdale Metal. These laminated glass rooflights are made to be walked on, perfect for gardens, roof terraces and more innovative architectural plans. Rooflight centre tests all our walk on skylights to ensure multiple people can stand, walk and even dance on our high-quality glass ceilings.

If the height above floor level exceeds 5M, please contact our Technical Department as glass specification likely will need to be upgraded in order to comply with Building Regulations.

    Very helpful, good communication and prompt delivery – good product.

  4. John & Freya Millington

    Professional service and our Architect received exceptional technical back up to design us a bespoke walk-on rooflight, other people said could not be done. It remains a real feature of the renovation. Thoroughly recommend Lonsdale without hesitation.

  6. Edward Turner

    The Rooflight Centre’s technical guys were really helpful with advice to achieve the large single pane rooflight our client wanted. Other manufacturers had turned down the design with a flat refusal, but Viktor and Richard went to extraordinary lengths to achieve what was required. The Glazing Division did an excellent job rising to the challenge of installing the rooflight which weighed close to 400kgs! Job well done gentlemen and thank you.

  7. Will Smythson

    Thanks for all your efforts – great product.

FAQS

  • What Are Walk-On Rooflights?
    Walk on rooflights are windows that can be placed on the ceiling and on the floor of an upper outdoor space that can also be walked on. Unlike other types of rooflights, these are safe to walk on because they’re manufactured differently from ordinary rooflights. The process of creating walk on rooflights allows them to withstand great amounts of pressure without cracking or shattering. If you’d like to learn more about walk on rooflights, visit our blog page.
  • How Much Do Walk On Rooflights Cost?
    Here at Rooflight Centre, our walk on rooflights have a starting price of £1895. The price entirely depends on the size of the rooflight and whether you’d like to include a non-slip finish or not. Additionally, you could choose to have a bespoke walk on rooflight manufactured to ensure that you’re getting exactly what you want. If you’re interested in ordering a bespoke rooflight, speak to our team today to receive a quote!
  • Why Can’t You Walk On Other Types Of Rooflights?
    Walk on rooflights are made of toughened safety glass, whereas other types of rooflights are not. Toughened safety glass is stronger than ordinary glass and is tested using Heat Soak Testing to ensure that it isn’t liable to shatter. Rather than using Nickel Sulphide to create the glass, toughened safety glass uses soda ash, silica sand, and limestone. This makes it up to five times stronger than ordinary glass. We have more information about toughened safety glass on our blog if you’d like to learn more.
  • How Do You Clean A Walk On Rooflight?
    Like any type of glass, walk on rooflights should be cleaned with non-abrasive, high-quality products. Warm water and mild detergent or a high-quality glass cleaner would be the best options to ensure you get the cleanest outcome. Using abrasive cloths or chemicals to clean your walk on rooflight could result in scuffs and a dirty appearance despite just being cleaned. It is also advisable that you clean before or after midday, as the sun will instantly dry the rooflight and leave streaks.
  • Do You Need Planning Permission For A Walk On Rooflight?
    Rooflights don’t generally require planning permission before you install them, as the process is quite straightforward and only requires minimal structural changes. However, you should ensure that you seek building regulations approval before proceeding with the installation. There is a lot of conflicting information available on whether permissions are required for walk on rooflights. The best way to confirm is to contact your local council directly.
  • Are Walk On Rooflights Shatterproof?
    Due to the nature of the toughened glass that walk on rooflights are made from, walk on rooflights should be shatterproof. Most walk on rooflights, as well as toughened glass, also include laminated glass. The laminated glass prevents the glass from shattering should something happen to it. The laminate will hold the glass together so even if it does shatter, the pieces of glass will not fall to the ground.
