What is the Best Conservatory Roof System?

If you are looking for a conservatory roof replacement, you may be wondering which conservatory roof system is best for you and your home.

Nowadays, there is a greater variety of conservatory roof options than ever before. Popular choices are solid tiled roofs, polycarbonate or glass roofs.

Of course, you will need to find a replacement roof to complement your existing conservatory structure, but it is also essential to think about the best conservatory roof material, as that will affect your experience of using your conservatory.

What is the best material for a conservatory roof?

The ideal conservatory roof will be well-insulated with a high degree of thermal efficiency.

Your room will be warm in winter without resulting in sky-high energy bills. It will be cool in summer and let in plenty of natural light.

It can be hard to decide which conservatory roof offers this combination of benefits.

Many traditional conservatory roof systems using glass or polycarbonate tiles fall short. However, our lightweight tiled conservatory roofs win hands down in energy efficiency, year-round comfort, cost and aesthetic appeal.

The features of a glass conservatory roof

Glass conservatories can be beautiful with their sparkling glass panes opening up the house to lovely views of the sky and garden. Glass conservatory roofs let in more natural light than other types of conservatory roofs and create that classic conservatory feel.

However, most glass roof panels offer poor insulation, meaning the room is too cold to use in the winter without colossal heating costs. Summer is a different story, with the glaring sun making it difficult to keep the conservatory cool.

Glass roofs can also be unpleasantly noisy, with torrential rain on the glass panels making conversation or relaxation impossible.

What to expect from a polycarbonate conservatory roof

Polycarbonate roofs are tough but can be prone to discolouration in UV light and are not as attractive as other roof systems.

Polycarbonate roofing has poor sound insulation and is even noisier than glass when it rains. In addition, polycarbonate tiles make popping and cracking noises as they expand and contract with temperature changes.

Polycarbonate roof systems are notoriously leaky, increasing your carbon footprint by allowing precious (and expensive) heat to escape into the environment.

The superior insulation within our solid roof system ensures that the noise of rain or wind on your roof does not disturb your peace when relaxing in your conservatory.
