Replacement Solid Conservatory Roofs
Dated Conservatories are one of the primary culprits for energy inefficiency in homes, with glass roofs making it difficult to regulate temperatures.
However, your Conservatory doesn’t even have to be particularly old to cause problems when it comes to heat loss. Up until 2010, when building regulations changed, all Conservatory Roofs had to be 75% translucent – which is why polycarbonate and glass materials were often used. These roofing materials have shown to be inefficient when it comes to retaining and regulating heat.
Updating to a Solid Conservatory Roof is one of the best ways to boost thermal efficiency, improve heat regulation and transform your conservatory into a usable space all year-round.
At Richard Thomas, we install energy efficient, high-quality Solid Conservatory Roofs, available in a range of styles to suit different properties. All options are tailor-made and completely customisable, with a variety of panel and tile options, colours, windows and skylights available. We’re also able to offer vaulted ceilings, modern lighting and integrated speakers.
