Upgrade Your Conservatory With a Replacement Conservatory Roof
When it comes to upgrading your conservatory, many homeowners will instinctively turn to glass or polycarbonate as the ideal roof solution. This gives the conservatory its distinctive look, however this isn’t always the best option when it comes to longevity or energy efficiency. This is why more and more homeowners are turning to a replacement conservatory roof.
A solid roof allows you to transform your conservatory into an extension of the home which can be used year-round. As well as being much more practical, this is also likely to increase the value of your property.
The main advantage is that a tiled roof will allow you to flood your conservatory with natural light. This will not only make the space more cosy and inviting, but it will also give you a wealth of design opportunities that you might struggle with using a glass conservatory.
Another benefit is that the roof will regulate temperatures much more effectively than a glass or polycarbonate conservatory. This will save you money on heating costs throughout the year. You can also customise your new replacement roof with a variety of elements including fascias and guttering.
When choosing a contractor to install your replacement roof it is important that you do your research. There are many different companies that offer this service and the quality of their work can vary widely. Make sure you read reviews and view portfolios before making a decision.
You should also consider how long the installation will take. A replacement roof is a significant structural project and will impact on the integrity of your home for some time. This is especially true if the project involves opening up existing walls to accommodate the new roof. You should also consider how disruptive this will be to your everyday life.
The best tiled replacement conservatory roofs can be matched to the existing roof colour of your house, making them a seamless part of the home. They can also be glazed with panels where you want them, giving you the chance to add natural light into areas that would otherwise be dark.
SupaLite have a number of different tiles to choose from including sandstone and slate, and they can be installed with or without a Velux window. Their Livinroof hybrid roof system, for example, can include shaped glass panels and an internal ceiling pelmet that can be fully insulated to improve thermal performance. This can be finished with coloured fascias and modern or traditional tile cappings. The Ultraroof system, meanwhile, is a lightweight tiled solid conservatory roof that can include glazed panels and can be installed with or without Velux windows. This can be customised with a range of colours and can also feature a plastered vaulted ceiling for a ‘real room’ feel.
