Best Conservatory roof material 

The conservatory market has been evolving with our clients seeking out the best conservatory roof replacement or new build conservatory. Today there are products designed to cater to your best requirement mandate from tiled, aluminium, or glass roofs.

Over the last decade many have invested into their homes by transforming their old conservatories into modern and more energy efficient rooms.

This makes choosing the best conservatory roof material much simpler. Are you looking to upgrade your old conservatory roof or starting from the ground up, we have a range of conservatory roof types designed and engineered to create the space to your requirements.

 

What different types of roofs are there?

There are 4 main types of conservatory roofs:

Tiled or Glazed – What roof material is best for you?

Tiled roofs are different than full glazed roofs and the question you must ask yourself is what are you looking to use the room for?

If you are looking to use the room all year round, then the tile roof will be the best option for you as a solid roof is cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. With a vaulted plastered ceiling this type of new room will transform an old conservatory and make an attractive feature on a new build extension. Many clients choosing a tiled conservatory roof integrate glass panels into the roof to add more light into the room.

A fully glazed room has the advantage of allowing full light into the room, as well as enabling you to see the ever-changing skyline during the day or the moon and stars at night, this is an attraction to many people. Having a fully glazed roof gives you the feeling of being outdoors, the natural light and warmth, a conservatory with a glass roof makes an excellent room for hobbies, reading or just meeting up with the friends. It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t point out though that glass roofs are not great for thermally efficiency and to use the room all year round you will need to continually heat it.

We have a range of replacement roof systems that are designed to transform your old conservatory. You might be looking for a thermally efficient glass roof, a combination of solid and glass panels or a lightweight tiled roof.
