What you might be seeing

  • A visible crack in the outer or inner pane
  • A starburst from an impact point
  • A crack running from an edge (often thermal stress)

What usually causes it?

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 Bearsden

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.

Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
