REPLACEMENT ROOF FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about replacing your conservatory roof? Our FAQs cover everything from materials and insulation to planning permission and installation.
Can I replace my polycarbonate or glass roof with a solid roof?
Absolutely! You can remove your current roof and install a solid roof of your choice. Ultraframe’s solid roofs are ultra light, so it is almost always possible to replace an existing roof with a solid Livinroof or tiled Ultraroof – as long as the conservatory’s frames are undamaged.
Are solid conservatory roofs better than glass roofs?
Solid conservatory roofs offer better insulation, reducing heat loss in winter and excessive heat in summer. They also provide enhanced privacy and noise reduction compared to glass roofs.
How do solid roofs improve energy efficiency in conservatories?
Solid roofs have better insulation properties than glass or polycarbonate roofs, minimising heat loss and maintaining a more stable temperature inside the conservatory, thus reducing energy consumption needed for heating or cooling.
How do solid roofs affect the natural light in the conservatory?
While solid roofs do tend to reduce the amount of natural light let in compared to glass roofs, you can incorporate windows, skylights, or glazed sections to maintain access to natural light from above while still benefiting from the insulation of a solid roof.
Do solid roofs impact the resale value of a property?
Solid conservatory roofs can enhance the appeal of a property by providing a more versatile and comfortable living space. While their impact on resale value varies, they can potentially increase the attractiveness and functionality of the property.
Can I personalise the appearance of a solid conservatory roof to match my home's style?
Yes, solid conservatory roofs offer customisation options in terms of materials, colours, and styles to match the aesthetics of your home, ensuring a cohesive look. Get in touch with us to discuss your project and our experts can discuss your customisation options with you and give you a quote.
