Choosing a Solid Roof Conservatory
Polycarbonate roofs are notoriously bad at holding off the weather, causing conservatories to become icy cold settings in winter and overly hot in summer. Replacing such roofing systems with a solid tiled roof will permanently resolve this common problem, keeping the space a comfortable temperature from season to season.
Upon ordering a solid roof from Planet, we will specially customise it for the conservatory at our manufacturing facility to ensure a perfect fit. Don’t hesitate to ask your advisor if you’d like to have shaped glass weaved into some section of the roof as we’re always happy to oblige when customer demands are made.

A solid roof is so beneficial
The mix of glass and resilient tiles is a formidable combo and together they work to keep conservatory spaces precisely heated and consistently fit for purpose. Glazed inserts can be used to negate any loss of natural light that transpires from the transition of an outdated roof to a contemporary solid roof.
A detection of a solid roof conservatory’s opulence will occur within seconds of you entering the abundant space. Look up as you admire the craftsmanship and notice the vaulted ceiling and internal pelmet – here, spotlights can be housed. It’s conceivable to also have lighting inserted into or hanging from the ridge of the roof, an option that a traditional vaulted or suspended roof cannot provide.

Explore our windows for your solid roof conservatory
Central to any solid roof conservatory is the windows it has, which must offer top-level insulation, security, and designer flair. Select UPVC windows or aluminium window frames based on the look you’re seeking to accomplish, two immensely reliable materials. Whilst exploring the separate frame types, view the colour palettes of each. Then, you can make an educated choice on what window and finish will get onlookers holding the solid roof conservatory in the highest regard.
Extreme UPVC Window Collection
The internal warmth that’s generated because of the insulating abilities of our UPVC windows is a reassurance of their superior excellence. We harness a premium UPVC material to craft each individual window style in the range so that you’re guaranteed an inviting conservatory or orangery without fail.
Any comparison to a traditional UPVC window is futile as our UPVC designs come with 9 visible locking points and 2 high compression hinge bolts, making them 3-times more secure than standard UPVC solutions.

Colours from across the full spectrum...
For several years after their initial rollout in the UK, UPVC windows were predominantly just available in white, but colour options have since significantly mushroomed. Whilst we do provide white-coloured UPVC windows, you’ve also got finishes like Chartwell Green, Irish Oak and Cream on the table, and that’s just a tiny sample of our broad palette.
Envisage Flush UPVC Window Collection
Conservatories with Envisage flush windows stand out from the crowd as they have a striking, sleek appearance. Flush windows used to be on show everywhere back in the day and right now, they’re enjoying quite the revival. Planet’s team of craftspeople have copied the historical proportions of classic flush casements, whilst still managing to considerably modernise their performance.
These talented artisans identified the importance of preserving the original arrangement of a flush window and ensuring that security and thermal efficiency was accounted for in our loving recreation of it.

Coordinate the window colour to the roofing system...
To achieve a consistent aesthetic throughout the design, it requires some colour coordination, which means ensuring the flush windows display a finish that’s aligned with everything else. With an army of alluring shades and woodgrains to select from, there will be no difficulty finding a finish that marries the windows, roof and different other constituents.
Eclipse Aluminium Window Collection
Built here in Britain, Planet’s aluminium windows have an ultra-stylish appearance and are as strong as you will get, qualities that any exceptional conservatory or orangery requires. At no stage will they be weather-beaten, possessing the ingredients to comfortably stand up to the elements. The slimness of the aluminium framework allows the windows to house an expansive piece of glass, feeding extended spaces with optimum natural light.

Colouring our aluminium windows is a laborious process...
We take our time over formulating and then applying each aluminium-based window finish and it shows. Our unfailing technique involves an 11-stage powder-coating procedure. An opposing strategy is employed if a woodgrain effect is stipulated- sublimation. Following this well-established method results in the development of distinctive Oak, Walnut and Rosewood woodgrains.
Handles meticulously crafted...
Virtually the same amount of time and dedication is inputted into the crafting of the traditional and contemporary handles to go with our glut of window solutions. You can detect the quality just by the feel of them in your hand, painstakingly brought to life by some of the most committed craftspeople in the industry.
Explore our doors for your solid roof conservatory
Some type of ‘feature door’ within the solid roof conservatory will be invaluable for additional ventilation in summer and creating an easy passage to the garden. One of a trio of door offerings can be chosen – bi-folding doors, French doors and patio doors – all uncomplicated to operate smoothly.
French Doors
Your garden needs embracing at every opportunity and inclusion of a French door will entice you to make the most of the space, just like you will inside the solid roof construction. Executing the double-opening design is trouble-free and when availed of, you get a beautifully mixed feel of the indoors and outdoors. Consequential air flow will produce a cheerful ambience.
A French door can also be the entry point into the conservatory from the home, not just an external opening. When utilised as such, it adds some theatre to your home to conservatory transitions.

Patio Doors
An inward or outward opening feature door may not be feasible for compact solid roof locations due to space restrictions. Get around the issue by harnessing a patio door instead, with its space-saving side-to-side sliding mechanism.
As you give it a push along the stainless-steel runners, it almost feels like it’s floating across. Kept in a closed position, the oversized glass panelling will continue to lure in ample light, whilst the product protects the extension against intrusion.

Bi-Fold Doors
How a bi-folding door works is unique to any of our family of feature doors and it has a much contrasting style too. Releasing the lock from engaged mode gives you the capacity to fold open the design and eliminate close to an entire wall, unifying the conservatory and garden spectacularly.
Although it has a high-end look, the bi-folding door is remarkably affordable, and capturing any kind of opening needs the littlest of effort. Expect it to be a centrepiece of the conservatory and a feature that you capitalise on again and again.

Single Doors
When you proceed to begin using your solid roof conservatory, the upsides of it having a single UPVC door or composite door will quickly become apparent.
Why not settle on a stable door style as a contrast to the norm? There are two halves to this door type, giving you the option of opening the top section to tempt air inside and keep the bottom section closed so that young children or pets can’t get out without your notice.

Hardware for Conservatory Doors
A door can only perform to its potential when it has the necessary hardware fixings and components and we have a wide selection of door furniture.
One of the foremost functions of door hardware is security and you can be sure that Planet has concentrated on creating robust components and locking mechanisms. An advisor can tell you more about this.
- Self-locking components vastly minimise burglary threats
- Latchbolts secure upon closing, killing off any chance of tampering.
- Components are fully encased for added security and assurance.

Our design acumen enables us to oversee pitch adjustments from 5° to 40.9°, ensuring you can have a solid roof in a lean-to or low-pitched conservatory, as well as an extension.
The roof system has undergone strict fire-testing as a fully assembled structure, administered by an independent team of fire experts, passing with flying colours. This symbolises that the various components work perfectly in-sync and will preserve your safety. U-Design software was wielded to fashion the weatherproof roof, which can cope in the face of extreme winds and heavy snow loads.
