Glass links & glass box roofs in Dunblane: what is involved?
Our glass links & glass box roofs service in Dunblane covers frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Think of glass links & glass box roofs for listed and period buildings where the old wall should stay visible.
We work across the Forth Valley, including Dunblane, and in neighbouring towns such as Bridge of Allan and Stirling. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
Specification options
- Solar-control and low-iron glass
- Structural glass beams and fins
- Frameless or slim-framed glass
- Frameless sliding or pivot doors
- Heated glass on some systems
- Bright circulation space
- Designed around the existing building
Before you order: points to check
- Abutments with old masonry need careful weathering
- Structural calculations are part of the design
Planning, building control and Dunblane
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas. Listed buildings need listed building consent where the work affects their character.
Under the Scottish building standards, replacement rooflights should average 1.6 W/m²K or better, and no individual unit should exceed 3.3 W/m²K. Forming a new opening normally involves structural work, so check with the local authority verifier whether a building warrant is needed.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Glass links & glass box roofs in Dunblane: questions
How long does a link take?
Design and manufacture are the long part. Fitting is often two to five days.
How is the glass joined to the old wall?
Usually by a slim channel or flashing set into the masonry, sealed and weathered so the old wall can move without cracking the glass seal.
Can a glass link be warm enough to use all year?
With insulated glass units, solar control and good detailing, yes — though it will always be brighter and more exposed to temperature swings than a solid room.
