Changing garage roof to glass conservatory roof
Might be a very unique question but we are looking at in the near future a garage conversation and as part i am wanting to change the current roof to something newer. One of the options/ideas was a glass roof like you get on a conservatory, is this even possible or a bizarre idea. Any advice or ideas
If not what other options would be advised as best?
Current roof is a flat flet roof.
Thanks in advance

When converting the garage to a habitable space you are required to upgrade the thermal value of the structure by improving the insulation of the floor, walls and roof, by installing a glazed roof you would be going in the wrong direction. Installing a standard timber roof with a couple of Velux roof lights would be acceptable though.
