Unlike modern conservatories, those installed more than 20 years ago tended to use polycarbonate, a plastic material that is easy to work and mold – and so ideal for conservatory roofs. At least that is what was thought in the past!
Unfortunately, glazed extensions built in the past didn’t use the highest quality of polycarbonate. This led to many homeowners experiencing poor thermal insulation and deafening noise if it rained heavily. Equally disappointing, poor quality dated polycarbonate roofs didn’t stay looking stylish – and many have even decreased the general aesthetic of houses.
These issues are very common – and they may sound familiar if you had a conservatory installed more than 20 years ago, or the homeowners before you did.
If you are looking to update your home, add value and even improve your quality of life – conservatory roof replacement is the ideal solution. And there are many options to choose from, to suit your needs and taste.
Solid replacement conservatory roof options
Modern lightweight solid tiled conservatory roofs help to create a warm, cosy and usable living space. An innovative design, the Guardian solid tile roof can offer all of these benefits and add style to your dated conservatory.
The stylish solid tiles come in a choice of natural tones, which help to give the look of traditional timber, clay or shingles – in Antique Red, Ebony and Burnt Umber shades. These tiles can be added to existing conservatory roofs, and enhance your space with weatherproofing, UV resistance and all round enhanced performance.
A further tiled conservatory roof replacement option is the RealROOF. This highly insulated design adds warmth and ensures that your extension can be used all year round. It will seamlessly connect to existing structures, to give a permanent feel, rather than that of an afterthought.
The RealROOF can be supported by stone or brick pillars, is available for many styles of conservatory, and features innovative Unidek Super Insulated Aero Structural roof panels – which in other words, means stylish aesthetics and impressive energy efficiency.
High quality glass conservatory roofs
If you want to keep the clean lines and look of glazing, a superior glass roof system is UltraSky. Featuring an elegant lantern roof, this system can be installed in an existing flat roof, and significantly enhances natural light.
Benefit from rooms that look more spacious, views of the outside and reduced noise pollution – all whilst enjoying a stylish centre piece, which is suitable for both traditional or contemporary properties.
