Conservatory Roof Glass ?
I've built a timber framed conservatory. The sides are done in 24mm sealed
units, K glass. I want the roof to have real glass double glazed units. What spec should the glass be? Thank you mark b |

What spec should the glass be? Mine was something like 4-10-4 toughened, although I'm less sure about the "10" than the other figures, it might have been 4-14-4 for ceiling, with 4-10-4 for the walls. Their maximum size was about 600mm wide by 2500mm long. I wouldn't go much wider or any longer. It was hairy enough getting those sizes installed in one piece. Christian. |

I used 4-10-4 toughened on both sides plain glass no argon. My brother has just built a conservatory and used 6-20-6 toughened on one side and laminated on the other specially reflective glass argon filled. Mine cost about £780 to glaze the whole conservatory. He spent £1600 just on the roof glazing. I'm sure his is better but my family spend all our time out there and I can't imagine it being better than it is. Cheers Nicholas "mark b" wrote in message ...
