Glass links & glass box roofs in Blairgowrie: what is involved?
Thinking about glass links & glass box roofs in Blairgowrie? The short answer: frameless glass links joining old and new buildings. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Glass links & glass box roofs suit joining a period house to a new extension or annexe.

Do you need permission in Blairgowrie?
Planning rules in Scotland differ: rooflights are treated as external alterations under Class 2B, with no permitted development in conservation areas. Flats and tenements are outside householder permitted development, so check with the planning authority first.
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. Replacing a rooflight, frame included, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Often, yes — and listed building consent if either building is listed. We can provide drawings and product data for your application.
Who designs it?
Your architect, or we produce a survey-based design that the glass manufacturer engineers.
Is structural glass safe?
