A better roof is a great investment if you are thinking about making improvements to your conservatory. A good-quality space like a conservatory can add 5% to the value of your property, and a well-designed conservatory can be used all year round – not just in summer when it’s stiflingly hot. However, a badly-built or designed conservatory can cost you in the long run, as it will be chilly in winter and stifling in summer, not to mention uncomfortable and expensive to heat.
Choosing the best roof for your conservatory will make all the difference. Choose between glass, polycarbonate and solid tiles – although the latter is the most expensive option, if you are thinking about a roof replacement. Think about options that will provide insulation in the winter and coolness in the summer. For more information, consider Conservatory Roof Conversions from Pro Ceiling.
Glass conservatory roofs are a popular choice because they’re glare-reducing, energy-efficient and offer uninterrupted sky views. They can be a pricier option than polycarbonate but they look impressive, and options are available to use thicker glass as an upgrade. This makes the conservatory more energy-efficient, keeping your conservatory both cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Polycarbonate also offers good weather resistance and is less likely to crack or break compared to glass. However, it isn’t the most visually appealing option, and you may need to invest in some awnings or blinds to protect your conservatory from harsh sunlight.
