If your conservatory is not getting much use, a solid tiled roof can transform it into a space that can be used all year round. It also changes it from a ‘garden room’ to an extension of your home, adding value.
Solid roofs can be fitted to a variety of conservatory styles and provide excellent thermal performance with u-values down to 0.14.
Comfort
Unlike old polycarbonate or glass conservatory roofs which can be too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, a new solid roof helps to equalise the temperature, enabling you to use your conservatory 365 days of the year. This also prevents condensation forming and the risk of furniture rotting or mould growth, making your conservatory more comfortable to live in year-round.
With multi-layered insulation, our tiled roofs provide market-leading levels of thermal performance, helping to keep your conservatory warm all year round. This helps to cut energy bills and create a more sustainable home.
In addition, our tiles are available in a range of colours and styles, ensuring you can find the perfect fit to complement your existing property. This means that your conservatory will look like it’s a permanent part of your home, rather than an extension that has been bolted on. This will help to add value to your home and make it more appealing should you ever choose to sell.
Durability
Many conservatories are prone to condensation which leads to mould and damp. A solid roof with superb insulating qualities prevents moisture from penetrating through the timber frame and will significantly reduce condensation build-up.
Energy efficiency is a key factor for any modern home and a conservatory tiled roof can significantly improve the thermal performance of your conservatory. The insulated tiles stop heat from escaping during the winter and trap warm air within your conservatory. This will help you to save money on heating bills.
A solid tiled roof will make your conservatory feel like a room that is part of your home and will look more professional than a glass or polycarbonate roof. It will also increase your property value as buyers will see it as a room that is functional and can be used all year round.
Maintenance
Compared to glass or polycarbonate conservatory roofs that can get dirty from a build-up of debris, a solid tiled roof requires very little maintenance. A general rule of thumb is to clean the roof every 4-6 months and this can be done with a broom or a soft brush along with soapy water on a hosepipe. Homeowners can even take the risk of climbing up on their roof to clean it but it’s not advised as this can damage seals and other protective coatings.
A solid tiled roof can be fitted with a range of Velux windows to bring natural light into a room. These are available in a variety of sizes and glazing options and they can be customised to suit the individual needs of homeowners. It is important to make sure the company you use can also install external soffits as these are not included in all roof replacements. Adding soffit lighting will add to the appeal of the room and can be used as security and safety feature.
Energy efficiency
Adding a functional all-year round room to your home is a great way to add value to your property. However, old glass or polycarbonate conservatories often consume a lot of energy to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This is expensive and isn’t good for the environment.
Replacing your roof with a solid tiled conservatory roof will save you money and improve the overall energy efficiency of your space. Solid roofs are much better insulators, keeping your conservatory warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Unlike many other solid roof systems, Ultraroof can be fitted over a wide range of bi-fold doors and is able to span up to 4m without the need for an unsightly tie bar. It’s also designed to be built in a fraction of the time it takes for other solid conservatory roof systems or traditional roofing. This means less mess and disruption for you.
