Structural rooflights explained
Structural rooflights — including walk-on units — form part of the building's load path. Learn how they differ from standard skylights, what the structure must provide and how to specify them correctly.

Frameless vs framed walk-on roof lights
Frameless and framed walk-on roof lights use the same structural laminated glass — the difference is edge detail, fixing method and appearance. Compare both options for terraces, glass floors and light wells.

Can rooflights be walked on?
Most rooflights cannot be walked on. Only purpose-made structural walk-on units with a rated laminated glass build are safe for foot traffic — standard flat roof lights must never be used as floor panels.

How to specify a structural walk-on roof light
A step-by-step guide to specifying a structural walk-on roof light: measure the opening, choose frame and thermal options, select glass finish, align structure and order correctly.

Walk-on roof light load ratings explained
Walk-on glass must be structurally rated for imposed loads — not just daylight. This reference explains load categories, laminated build-ups, span limits and what to ask your supplier.
OverviewWalk-on Glazing
What is a walk-on roof light?
A walk-on roof light is a structurally rated laminated glass panel you can walk across — used for roof terraces, glass floors, landings and basement light wells. Learn how they are built, where they are used and what to specify.
