  • Is there a rough 'how big a rooflight can i put in here' based on the size of a roof (if not just a case of how much you pay to add extra support to the roof.)

    Internally the room is 2.6m wide and 2.1m deep, will soon have twinned steel beams at the top once the inside wall is coming down to open the room into the dining room.
    Wanted to have as big a window as possible, circa 1.4*1.4m, but roofer has suggested 0.8*1m, possibly a touch bigger based on roof size.

    Don't want to sound like I'm calling him out/know what I'm doing - just curious about what the margins are.

  • You can have all of the roof as glass if you want (and can afford it). Ask the structural engineer who is designing the steel beams
