Glass links & glass box roofs for Coalisland: the essentials
For Coalisland homes and buildings we offer glass links & glass box roofs: frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Bungalows are widespread in Northern Ireland, and sun tunnels or roof windows are an easy way to brighten internal hallways. In Coalisland, as anywhere, glass links & glass box roofs are the usual choice for joining a period house to a new extension or annexe.
Coalisland is around 39 km from Omagh, and we survey and fit throughout that part of County Tyrone, including the BT71 district.
Options we can specify in Coalisland
- Frameless or slim-framed glass
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Structural glass beams and fins
- Heated glass on some systems
- Concealed gutters and drainage
- Can include frameless doors
- Bright circulation space
Things we check at survey
- Abutments with old masonry need careful weathering
- Thermal performance of large glass areas must be calculated
Do you need permission in Coalisland?
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. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.
