The Scariest Roof Lights In The
World
Presented By
Have you ever been to a tourist attraction with a glass floor?
Have you been brave enough to walk across it and look below?
Thrill seekers will love our selection of the scariest roof lights across the world!
Many of us are curious about challenging our notions of fear by pushing ourselves to do things
that make us scared.
That’s why these following attractions are so popular!
1. Grand Canyon, United States Of America
Fancy looking down at a sheer drop of 500ft – 800ft with nothing between you and the depths except glass? The Grand Canyon Skywalk decking is an incredibly popular attraction which can currently hold 120 tourists who want a unique perspective of the great American landmark.
2. Blackpool Tower, United Kingdom
Here in England, we have our own exciting walk-on roof light experience in the shape of Blackpool Tower. This attraction allows you to look directly down at the promenade, with a wall and floor view which also allows you to appreciate the architectural engineering surrounding you.
3. The Eiffel Tower, France
As the most successful paid-for tourist landmark in the world, the new addition of a glass floor platform to the Eiffel Tower is a no brainer. Look down on the most romantic city in the world from 200ft up, and join in the selfie trend of laying on the glass and taking a photo!
4. The CN Tower, Canada
In Canada, they refuse to do things by half. The CN Tower is a truly impressive bit of engineering, and the glass floor provides an impressive aerial view from 1,122 feet above the ground. The ‘EdgeWalk’ allows visitors to venture outside at the same height and walk around the edge of the tower – only for the brave!
What Makes Walk-On Roof Lights Safe?
The fear of walking across a glass floor comes from the fragility of glass as a material, as well as the ability to see right through to the ground below! So what is it that makes the glass safe to walk on?
• Thickness – Thicker glass is specially designed in order to take heavier loads
• Frame Structure – As well as the glass itself, it is important to ensure that the structure of the unit holding it in place is strong
• Non Slip – To prevent injury, non-slip
coating is applied to glass that is going to be walked on
• Testing – To ensure that the glass continues to perform, testing is carried out regularly
Walk-On Roof Lights For Your Home
Walking across a glass floor doesn’t have to be as daring as staring down at steep drops. In fact, Walk-On roof lights are a great way of adding more light across storeys of your home – both internally, and externally. Made with high-quality frames and industry leading glass, our units can be ordered in standard or custom sizes.
