The Benefits of a New Conservatory Roof
When it comes to a new conservatory roof there are a few options available. Glass and polycarbonate are commonly used, however they’re not the best option.
A solid conservatory roof will transform your conservatory into a room that you can use all year round. This is because they are engineered for everyday living and will increase the value of your home.
Improved Insulation
A new conservatory roof is the perfect way to improve insulation for your conservatory and turn it into a comfortable space that you can use all year round. The modern materials used for a replacement roof are thicker and offer better noise insulation, retain heat better, and keep the cold out.
Upgrading to a solid roof can also be cheaper than rebuilding an entire conservatory and it is far quicker as well. Depending on the size and condition of your existing conservatory you may not need planning permission to replace it with a solid roof.
A solid conservatory roof can be constructed from a range of different materials but is most commonly made from either tiles or a composite lightweight slate sheet. Both options are available with a variety of aesthetic finishes and colours. Some even have solar control coatings that help prevent overheating in the summer. This type of conservatory roofing also offers a better thermal performance and will save you money on heating bills.
Aesthetically Pleasing
Replacing your conservatory roof with a new solid roof will give it the appearance of a more traditional extension. This can also add to the overall value of your property.
If you have an older glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof, changing it to a solid replacement roof will help to transform the look of your conservatory and will improve its aesthetic appeal. Solid roofs are made of either moulded resin sheets with the appearance of tiles or composite lightweight slates.
These materials are designed to retain the optimum temperature within your conservatory making it comfortable throughout the year. They allow natural light to enter your conservatory allowing you to use your space all year round.
Energy Efficient
In an age of spiralling energy bills it’s no surprise that homeowners are becoming more conscious of lowering their fuel consumption. A new conservatory roof will help to do just that. Our solid roof systems have a U-value of just 0.15, meaning it will be much warmer in winter and help to reduce heating costs.
They also prevent the sun from overheating your conservatory in summer so you don’t need to crank up the heating. This makes your conservatory a space you can use all year round.
Many people avoid their conservatory in winter because it’s freezing cold, but a new replacement roof will allow you to use it throughout the season. This will make it a more versatile room that you can use as a dining room, work area or living space. Plus, you’ll find it’s far cheaper to revitalise your existing conservatory than it would be to build a new one from scratch.
Increased Value
If your conservatory is starting to show signs of age and it’s not looking its best, then it may be time for a replacement roof. However, it is important to get an accurate idea of how much this will cost before committing to any work. This will depend on a number of factors including the size of your existing roof, its condition and the type of conservatory.
Replacing a conservatory roof provides many benefits and can transform the space into something that feels like an extension of your house and not just a glorified garden room. This can increase the value of your property as it will become an insulated living area that you can use all year round.
A solid tiled roof is also a great option for those who want to increase their home’s energy efficiency and make it a more environmentally friendly place to live. They can be fitted to all conservatory designs from lean-to, p shape and even gable conservatories.
