Why it happens
Impact
Hail, falling branches or dropped tools.
Spontaneous breakage
Toughened glass can occasionally break without warning, which is why laminated inner panes are recommended overhead.
Roof lanterns in Strabane
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
Strabane is around 17 miles from Omagh, and both are within our County Tyrone coverage.
