glass roof
See-through overhead covering
A glass roof is a roof made largely or entirely of glass panels, allowing natural light to enter from above.
Glass roofs appear on conservatories, atriums, and greenhouses.
Figuratively, a glass roof functions like a glass ceiling—an invisible barrier limiting advancement: Women in academia often encounter a glass roof rather than an open sky.
