What is the Best Roof for a Conservatory?
Are you thinking of adding a conservatory to your home? Perhaps you already own one but want to upgrade or renovate it. Selecting the right roof is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. The roof influences not only the appearance of your conservatory, but also its practicality and comfort. With so many options available, it can be difficult to decide which roof is ideal for your needs. In this article, we will look at different types of conservatory roofs to help you make an informed choice for your home.
The roof is an important aspect of your conservatory, impacting temperature regulation, energy efficiency, and the aesthetics. Selecting a roof that balances both appearance and practicality is crucial.
Types of Conservatory Roofs and Benefits
Glass Conservatory Roofs
Energy Efficient
Old glass conservatory roofs were typically too hot to use in the summer and too chilly in the winter, but this is no longer the case, thanks to developments in glazing technology. Modern glass roofs are solar regulated to deflect the sun’s heat when it reaches a comfortable temperature, so you don’t have to worry about your conservatory roof turning into a greenhouse. When combined with the latest spacer bars, insulated perimeters, and chambered top caps, and the need for artificial light is kept to a minimum, heating bills can be reduced.
Natural Light
Glass roof conservatories let in plenty of natural light, which can improve the appearance and feel of your home. The glass roof panels allow sunshine to flow in, making the space feel light and airy. Bringing natural light into your home has shown to boost mood and relaxation, so a glass roof conservatory can be a great investment in your health.
Aesthetics
Glass in any form never fails to give a property a sleek modern appearance. Even homes that aren’t particularly appealing on their own might benefit greatly from the installation of a glass conservatory or skylight.
Durable
With our glass conservatory roofs, you won’t have any structural difficulties and can benefit from unique speed lock technology. Built, tested and fitted to provide ten years of guaranteed protection, they include trickle vents as standard, ensuring that our roofs can resist harsh weather and the test of time.
Tiled Conservatory Roofs
Thermal Efficiency
One of the key benefits of tiled conservatory roofs is that they perform better than standard glazed roofs. Tiled roofs are great insulators, helping to keep the conservatory’s internal temperature stable through the year. This increased thermal efficiency can result in lower energy bills as you will rely less on heating and cooling systems.
Improved Privacy and Noise Reduction
Tiled conservatory roofs provide more privacy than their glazed counterparts. While glass roofs offer panoramic views of the surroundings, they lack the privacy that tiled roofs provide. Tiled roofs provide a more private and intimate environment, hiding homeowners from prying eyes and outside noise pollution.
Low Maintenance
It requires less maintenance than polycarbonate or glass conservatory roofs. This makes them excellent for modern homeowners who are frequently busy and do not have time for ongoing care. With a tiled roof, you will save time and money in the long run, because the tiles are long lasting, they require less replacements and repairs.
