Conservatory Roof Glass ?

[mark b]

I've built a timber framed conservatory. The sides are done in 24mm sealed units, K glass. I want the roof to have real glass double glazed units.

What spec should the glass be?

Thank you

Mine was something like 4-10-4 toughened, although I'm less sure about the "10" than the other figures, it might have been 4-14-4 for ceiling, with

4-10-4 for the walls.

Their maximum size was about 600mm wide by 2500mm long. I wouldn't go much wider or any longer. It was hairy enough getting those sizes installed in one piece.

I used 4-10-4 toughened on both sides plain glass no argon. My brother has just built a conservatory and used 6-20-6 toughened on one side and laminated on the other specially reflective glass argon filled. Mine cost about £780 to glaze the whole conservatory. He spent £1600 just on the roof glazing. I'm sure his is better but my family spend all our time out there and I can't imagine it being better than it is.
