Glass is very popular in structures such as greenhouses wine cellars stairs and and of course to make a roof for a lovely outdoor terrace. We regularly design and install glass walk on floors and bridges along with structural glass roof lights for precisely this purpose. These beams are toughened and laminated and your structural engineer will calculate the size and strength they need to be. Glass is widely used these days to bring style and luxury to living environments.

Only work with experienced companies. It provides protection against the sun rain and wind. It could be one design and build firm but you need to confirm an architect is on staff or that the company has access to a third party architect. Low iron glass beams can give a great completely transparent horizontal element to a space with frameless detailing at the edges to hide all brackets and fixings to the structural glass beam.

Adding these will probably be more expensive but the end effect is stunning the roof is all glazed.
