How we approach frameless structural rooflights in Craigavon
Our frameless structural rooflights service in Craigavon 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. Think of frameless structural rooflights for rooms where you want sky without a visible frame.
Craigavon is the main town we list in County Armagh; we also cover nearby Lurgan and Portadown.

Planning, building control and Craigavon
Northern Ireland's householder permitted development allows rooflights within limits — no more than 15 cm projection on road-facing slopes and a 0.5 m margin from ridge, eaves and party walls. 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.
Technical Booklet F1 (2022) asks for replacement windows and rooflights in existing homes to reach WER Band C or a U-value of 1.6 W/m²K, assessed in the vertical position. New dwellings must average 1.40 W/m²K across windows, roof windows and rooflights.

Frameless structural rooflights in Craigavon: 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.
Is frameless glass as strong as a framed rooflight?
Yes — it is structural glass designed for the job. The support is hidden rather than missing.
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.
Is the survey in Craigavon free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
Can you work alongside my builder in Craigavon?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
