Floor Glass

Hi

Just wondering I have a car pit in my garage which I am going to convert to a room, would anyone know if I get the measurements how much roughly it would be if I put glass over the top of it like a wine cellar??

Thanks

Roughly speaking, a ball park figure, at a guess, I would imagine somewhere between 1 and 15k

There are companies who make such glass for light wells in front gardens to a cellar.
maybe look into them?
it will weigh a ton, so figure a way to lift it with linear actuators or similar?

it may also need a sensor to stop it when closing if you like your toes where they are?

I used to work with motorised stages and (orchestra) pits. All the edges had bars like on a fire exit to avaoid chopping people in half. The actual lifting was done with screw jacks driven by what looked like vehicle propshafts.

Minimum 32mm Laminate toughened glass if you want to walk on it. Depends on size , I reckon 80-100kg per m2 , cost again dependant on size ...I would say approx 2-3k if you aren't wanting it with a nice polished edge ( eg going in a rebate so it's flush with existing floor
