What Is a Fixed Glass Roof System?
A fixed glass roof is a permanently sealed, non-opening glazing system that provides maximum natural light, excellent insulation and long-term weather protection. Unlike retractable glass roofs, fixed glass systems have no moving parts—making them ideal for extensions, pergolas, garden rooms and commercial terraces where durability and comfort are essential.
Veraforza fixed glass roofs use thermally broken aluminium profiles and insulated safety glass, delivering a clean architectural look while increasing usability and property value.
Looking for a fully openable roof? Explore our Retractable glass roof systems, offering sliding panels for all-weather flexibility, or choose this fixed glass roof pergola for maximum insulation and a permanent architectural finish.
