Frameless structural rooflights for Armagh: the essentials
Our frameless structural rooflights service in Armagh covers minimal glass rooflights with no visible frame from inside. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Many Northern Irish homes have later flat-roofed kitchen extensions where an old dome can be swapped for glass. Frameless structural rooflights suit rooms where you want sky without a visible frame.
From Armagh to Keady, Portadown and Dungannon, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Planning, building control and Armagh
Most rooflights on houses in Northern Ireland are permitted development under Class B, but not in a conservation area or on a listed building's curtilage. A side-facing window within 15 m of a neighbouring boundary must be obscure-glazed, and non-opening unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Northern Ireland's energy rules assess rooflight U-values in the vertical position — unlike England and Wales — and expect 1.6 W/m²K or Band C for replacements. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.

Common questions
Can a frameless rooflight be walked on?
Only if it is specified as a walk-on unit. Most frameless rooflights are for light only.
Will I see the edge of the glass?
From inside, the reveal is finished up to the glass so the edge is hidden. From outside you will see the glass and its edge seal.
Does it cost more?
Usually, because the glass is larger and heavier and the finish needs tighter tolerances. The price table shows typical ranges.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Armagh?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Armagh?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
