Large-span roof glazing, atria and skylights
Atria & Rooflights
Engineered atrium roofs, structural glass rooflights, barrel vaults and skylights bringing daylight into the heart of commercial and public buildings.
Overview
Overhead glazing is among the most technically demanding facade disciplines, combining structural span, drainage, solar control, safety glazing and maintenance access. We design and install atria, rooflights and barrel vaults that transform internal environments with controlled daylight.
Our atrium roofs are engineered for snow and wind loading to BS EN 1991, fall-arrest and non-fragility to ACR[M]001, and incorporate solar-control and self-cleaning glass to manage heat gain and lifecycle maintenance.
