Is it time for cracked lantern glass replacement?

  • A visible crack in the outer or inner pane
  • A crack running from an edge (often thermal stress)
  • Broken glass inside the room — keep everyone out of the area

What usually causes it?

Thermal stress

Uneven heating across a pane, edge damage or partial shading can crack glass from the edge.

Spontaneous breakage

Toughened glass can occasionally break without warning, which is why laminated inner panes are recommended overhead.

Covering Chepstow and nearby

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
