Your conservatory should be a fully functional living space that you can enjoy all year round. If you have ever been inside a poorly insulated conservatory, you will know that they tend to be ice cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. This is understandably frustrating as a conservatory is a significant investment and should be a room that you can enjoy and use without worrying about the room being uncomfortable.
Replacement conservatory roofs are ideal as they provide a cost-effective upgrade to your conservatory. By replacing the glass or polycarbonate roof with a stylish new Thermaroof™ you can transform your conservatory into a stylish all-year-round space with a beautiful tiled roof. This article discusses why old conservatory roofs were used as well as how we can upgrade your conservatory with your new Thermaroof™.

Why Was Polycarbonate Used as a Historic Conservatory Roof Material?
Polycarbonate was used as an insulation material for conservatory roofs because of the fact that it allowed cheaper installation and conformed to building regulations at the time. Unfortunately, polycarbonate is an inferior material in terms of insulation and does not provide full insulation all year round. This results in older-style conservatories being too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Your conservatory should effectively act as an additional room in your home but it’s impossible to enjoy them all year round when they feature polycarbonate roofs. Polycarbonate is also less resistant to the elements, which poses risks of leaks occurring on your roof.
Upgrading Your Conservatory With the Thermaroof™ System

We ensure that instead of having to arrange for an expensive full conservatory upgrade, you are able to replace your current conservatory roof with the Thermaroof system. This installation takes only a few days rather than having to arrange for an extensive renovation or installation of a new conservatory. We offer Internal Bespoke Finishes – Such as Plaster finish and LED lights as well as a 10-year guarantee on our replacement conservatory roofs. Your new conservatory roof will cost less to heat in the winter and can save you money every year on energy bills. Create a fully functional living space that you can enjoy all year round with our team!
Increase The Overall Value of Your Property

Investing in a replacement conservatory roof can also increase the overall value of your property. Polycarbonate roofed conservatories will be identified during the survey process and this could cause issues due to the negatives around these styles of conservatory roofs. Upgrading your conservatory roof with the Thermaroof™ system ensures that your conservatory is highly thermally efficient and this is an added benefit when it’s time to sell your property.
