Frameless structural rooflights for Bordon: the essentials
Thinking about frameless structural rooflights in Bordon? The short answer: minimal glass rooflights with no visible frame from inside. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Think of frameless structural rooflights for rooms where you want sky without a visible frame.
From Bordon to Farnham, Aldershot and Fleet, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.
Choices for your Bordon project

- Triple glazing
- Shadow-gap or plastered reveal
- Long, slim or very large formats
- Clean modern detail for architect-led schemes
What to check first
- The internal finish (plaster, shadow gap) is agreed before order
- Large panes need lifting gear and access planning
Planning, building control and Bordon
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
Under Approved Document L, a rooflight added to an English home must achieve at least 2.2 W/m²K (horizontal plane), and a roof window 1.4 W/m²K or Window Energy Rating Band B. Replacing a rooflight or roof window can be self-certified by an installer registered with an authorised competent person scheme; otherwise building control approval is needed.
Read the planning permission guide before you commit to a design.
