Welcome to Lonsdale Patent Glazing and Rooflights, precision manufacturers of contemporary and traditional sloped glazing systems for commercial and domestic buildings.
We offer a wide range of aluminium systems for glass roofs for small and large projects.
From major stations, museums, shopping centres, schools and universities to modest domestic extensions and bespoke projects, we have the right skylight at the right price.
Patent glazing has developed over the years and is no longer only suitable for unheated spaces such as stations, markets and covered ways as modern systems provide excellent thermal insulation and air-tightness when used with double or triple glazing.
At Lonsdale, we specialise in bespoke rooflights and have provided overhead glazing systems for many important and historic buildings.
Toughened or laminated safety glasses MUST be specified for overhead glazing.
Toughened glass is heat treated so that when broken it shatters into tiny small dice that even if they fall are so small they are unlikely to cause injury.
However, it does make less mess and should not be fitted over swimming pools or food preparation areas as can be very difficult to ensure recovery of every fragment.
Glass roofs come in many shapes and forms from a small flat rooflight on a typical home extension to a large roof glazing structure on a major shopping centre or train station.
A rebated timber rafter is the most basic of methods where the glass is usually seated on a glazing tape and then a continuous wooden capping with mastic tapes clamps the glass in place and keeps the water out.
This used to be a popular method in Victorian times and still sometimes see today even on high-end timber conservatories, but it is not a satisfactory method and leaks often occur due to movement in the timber.
