Transform Your Conservatory With A Solid Roof

There are people that mistakenly believe conservatories can only be used at certain times of the year due to hearing stories about them feeling like an oven in summer and freezing boxes in winter.

While it’s undeniable that the thermal qualities of certain old conservatories diminish as they age, they’re not all like that, especially if they are fitted with a solid roof.

Consisting of lightweight slates / tiles, solid roofs can be incorporated into brand new conservatories and retro-fitted to existing designs. The transformation they can make to surviving conservatories is so stark that it can make them feel brand new again.

With an average U-Value of less than 1.0 W/m2K, a solid roof will hugely enhance the insulation offered by a previously poorly insulated conservatory, retaining heat in winter and keeping the extension suitably cool in summer. It therefore assures you of a conservatory that you can use in guaranteed comfort 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. 

You don’t have to wait around long for it to be fitted either.

Once the current roofing system has been measured, a solid roof will be custom-made to fit the necessary covering and pre-fabricated in the factory. This expedites the installation process – most solid roof installations can be made watertight inside of a day and it won’t take much longer than that to finalise the fitting. An established solid roof installer like Planet can be in and out of your house before you know it.

The feel of a conservatory isn’t the only thing that will be transformed by a solid roof. Its appearance will be improved too as the slates / tiles offer stylish aesthetics and will remain in that condition as they offer weather-resistance and don’t crack or crumble like traditional slates and tiles.

Prior to a solid roof installation commencing, it must be checked whether building regulations approval is required, but this can be handled by us too.

You can see several of the solid roof installations we have completed locally on our Living Spaces page to get an appreciation for what a solid roof could do for your conservatory.
