Conservatories are a fantastic way to add space and value to your home. However, many older conservatories have a roof that can become too cold in winter and hot in summer.
Replacing your old conservatory roof is a great way to change this. With a new tiled or solid conservatory roof you can enjoy your garden room all year round.
Aesthetics
Upgrading your conservatory roof will not only increase its energy efficiency but also make it feel more like a part of the home. A new roof can create a space that is both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, and you can choose from different options including glass, a tiled solid roof or a hybrid.
Choosing a glass roof can help you to enjoy more natural light, but if you want to add a traditional feel to your home a tiled solid conservatory roof is ideal. A new tiled roof will also reduce glare and noise, creating a more relaxing environment.
Replacing your conservatory roof with a Warmify roof will help to improve its u-Value and prevent heat escaping in the summer. This can save you money on your heating bills throughout the winter. The insulated panels can also reduce the amount of noise that is transmitted into your conservatory. This is beneficial if you live in an area with noisy neighbours or children playing outside.
Energy efficiency
Many homeowners find their conservatories are too hot in summer and too cold in winter because of the poor thermal capabilities of their existing roof. This can be expensive for heating bills and may make the space uncomfortable to use.
Replacing the roof with a solid one is an effective way to improve the energy efficiency of your conservatory. These roofs have a low U-value and are designed to keep heat inside in the winter without overheating in summer. This will help to save money on energy bills as well as being better for the environment as fewer greenhouse gasses are produced.
There are several options to choose from when it comes to solid conservatory roofs. Some are self-cleaning and come with a range of different finishes to suit the aesthetics of your home. It’s also worth bearing in mind that changing from a polycarbonate to a solid roof is classed as material alteration and will require you to submit an application to your local council for approval.
Durability
The longevity of any home improvement project is crucial, and upgrading your conservatory roof will help your new room last a long time. This is because tiled conservatory roofs are heavier than plastic and therefore require a more substantial structure to support them, allowing them to stand the test of time.
Whether your existing conservatory is looking dated or you just want to make it more energy efficient, replacing its roof is an affordable solution that will instantly transform your space and add value to your home. As a result, you’ll be able to enjoy your conservatory all year round.

Maintenance
As with any home improvement project, a conservatory will start to show signs of ageing. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but often these niggling issues will indicate that it’s time for a replacement roof.
For example, if the conservatory has begun to leak, this could cause damage to your furniture and possessions inside. If left untreated, this could result in further structural problems for your conservatory.
Also, if you’re noticing that your roofing panels are slipping it can be a sign that the end caps and retaining clips on the roof glazing bars have started to wear and need replacing. This will prevent the panels from slipping and will help to protect your conservatory from the elements.
Another common issue is perished roof seals, whether on polycarbonate or glass roofing panels. This can enable water to enter the conservatory and is quite simple to rectify by having these seals re-sealed.
