Replacing your conservatory roof isn’t as big a job as you might think. Many national installers now work with local building control departments to design roofs that can be fully assembled on site.
Often this will include the need to add glazing panels where necessary, but this isn’t necessarily an issue. There are many irresistible benefits to replacing your conservatory roof with a solid one!
Improved thermal insulation
A solid conservatory roof helps to keep heat in during winter and out during summer. This is thanks to the added layer of insulation and improved energy efficiency they provide. This also means that you will save money on your energy bills as it won’t be as much to heat the room.
It is also better at soundproofing than polycarbonate or glass. This will help you to create a space that can be used all year round without being disturbed by noises such as raindrops or people walking around.
However, it is worth pointing out that you will need to replace your existing double glazed windows and doors as they may not be suitable for the weight of a new tiled roof. Additionally, you will need to make sure that your existing conservatory can support the extra structure needed. This will include the plaster boarding, tiles, lighting and insulation. A specialist company will be able to advise you.
Reduced glare
In the summer, a conservatory with a glass or polycarbonate roof can feel like a sun trap and too hot to use. However, a solid roof will help to reduce extreme temperatures throughout the year, making it more comfortable and allowing you to use your conservatory for its intended purpose all the time.
The light that floods into a glass or polycarbonate conservatory can create glare, which can be hard to get rid of. Remedies such as shutters, blinds and window film are often a temporary solution to this issue. A replacement roof, on the other hand, can eliminate this problem and transform your conservatory into a space you want to spend time in.
If you decide to have a solid tiled roof installed, you should ensure that your builder has LABC Registered Details certification. You may also need to have the structure of your conservatory assessed to make sure it can cope with the additional weight and insulation.
A stylish addition
Unlike polycarbonate or glass, a solid conservatory roof can be finished in a choice of tiles that will suit your home. This helps to give your conservatory a look that is a genuine extension of your property, rather than a separate structure.
In addition, a tiled conservatory roof will be warmer in winter and keep out the sun’s strong glare during summer. This will not only make the space more comfortable to use all year round but will also reduce your heating bills.
A well-insulated conservatory will add value to your home and will prove a worthy investment as prospective buyers will appreciate the extra living space. Our Livinroof and Ultra Warmroof options are a good choice for homeowners looking to get the best performance from their extension. With a beautiful vaulted ceiling inside, these options will not only deliver superb thermal performance but they are stylish too. A clean internal plastered finish and recessed LED lights will create a cosy space that feels like an extension of your home.
Adds value to your home
Depending on how you use your conservatory, it can be an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining guests. It can also serve as a home office, dining room or gym.
A solid conservatory roof will help regulate the temperature of the room, keeping it cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This will reduce glare and keep your energy bills under control.
There are a range of tiles to choose from including concrete, clay and slate. Each option comes with its own price tag, but you will be able to find something that suits your home.
A new solid roof will inevitably add value to your property. This is because it will make the conservatory an integral part of your home and improve its thermal efficiency. It will also look far more modern than a traditional conservatory, allowing you to impress any guests that visit.
