markc Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Had a few bespoke pieces of glass made by Glassandstainless.com and they have been really good, wasnt walk-on and it was the right size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfun Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 all joking aside, I wish I could help. we did originally have light wells planned for our basement with walk-on glazing at ground level but in the end decided that it was just too expensive and those rooms in the basement didn't need natural light so I never did any real research on the subject. good luck though, and I genuinely mean that. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 Just got another similar quote ffs ! Its just a light well ! I do remember as a kid walking over those glass blocks in the pavement presumably for shop basement lighting . That still exist ? . Indeed *any* cheaper method I’ll entertain ( got another of these to do also ! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 https://plasticsheetsshop.co.uk/product/clear-acrylic-gs-sheet-30mm/ Then laminate some plate glass to it with UV curing adhesive. If you just want light to come though, you could get a clear GRP sheet made up. Get the right resin and mat and it will look alright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F me ! Just spoke to them and got a sensible quote . Around 700 quid . Strangely enough the frame costs more than the glass ! Nice one @markc 👍👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basic upstand is built - but I can add block work / lintels to ‘suit’ said glazing when it arrives . So too large or small can be adjusted for ( within limitations of course ) . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
