Opening shape and size
The dimensions, roof form and glazing layout influence the frame and glass required.
JCB SERVICES / GAUTENG
Custom Glass Skylights in Gauteng
JCB manufactures custom glass skylight solutions for Gauteng properties where daylight is needed from above. Begin with the roof opening, the room below and the surrounding roof construction.
Quotations are prepared after a site inspection or review of sufficiently detailed project requirements.
MADE AROUND YOUR SPACE
Bring Daylight in From Above.
Skylights can introduce natural light into areas where conventional windows are limited or where additional overhead glazing forms part of the design.
JCB manufactures glass skylight solutions around the dimensions and requirements of the property.
Planning glazing over an opening
Photographs from above and below are useful when a roof opening already exists. For a new opening, share plans and the proposed dimensions. Structural alterations and work to the roof need to be coordinated with the appropriate project team before final glazing details are agreed.
Ask how the skylight will meet the surrounding roof and how installation responsibilities will be divided. Confirm who handles the opening, supporting structure, roof junctions, weatherproofing and internal finishes. Also consider practical access for future inspection and cleaning.

YOUR TAILORED QUOTATION
Define the roof-glazing requirements
Glass specification
Overhead application, sunlight and the desired light and comfort levels guide the glazing discussion.
Roof access and preparation
Installation height, access equipment and the condition of the opening affect the scope of work.
Quotations are prepared after a site inspection or review of sufficiently detailed project requirements. Confirm the materials, work included, site readiness and applicable terms with JCB before approving the project.
Prepare your project for a quotationCOMMON QUESTIONS
Before you choose glass skylights
Can a skylight bring daylight into a room with limited windows?
A skylight can introduce light from above where an appropriate roof opening can be provided. The room layout and roof structure determine what is practical.
Is skylight glass chosen in the same way as window glass?
Overhead glazing has its own application requirements. Explain the roof layout and exposure so the suitable glass specification can be confirmed.
What needs to be ready before a skylight is manufactured?
The opening dimensions, support, glazing layout and roof interface need agreement. Confirm the responsibilities of the glazing and building teams before manufacture.
