What Are the Best Conservatory Roof Materials For You?

When considering a new conservatory roof, you want to ensure that they are made from a very strong material. This is because you want to ensure that the roof is durable and  long lasting in the process. A new conservatory roof has many benefits for you such as being thermally efficient and secure from intruders or the rain. But what are the best materials to use when considering a new conservatory?  At Abbey, we supply many roofs in different styles, so read on to find out more.

Glass Conservatory Roofs

If you want your conservatory to reflect your home with natural light, then a glass roof is an ideal option. This roof is very bright which gives off a positive and welcoming space, which will impress visitors and potential buyers alike. This is because the glass roof helps your living space look fantastic. But it doesn’t just benefit you, because if you have a few plants, then they will benefit more because they bring more heat and warmth into your space.

One of the main benefits of your glass roof is that it is a powerhouse of thermal efficiency. As a result, the self cleaning methods will also be beneficial because they will do all the cleaning work for you.  You can also benefit from tinted glass, which lets lots of ventilation out while protecting you from UV Rays and your furniture from discolouring.

But that’s not all, because you can even add to the warmth of your property because you will be able to choose aluminium frames to add to a sleek and professional looking design. Aluminium frames are also very thermally efficient which will make your home feel warmer all year round. A glass roof will also benefit your home because you will let an abundance of natural light into your home, giving a brighter more positive space. And, what’s more, your glass roof is also a good insulator of sound as well because it will protect you from external noises. This means if you want a quiet space, then a glass roof is perfect for your needs.

Polycarbonate Conservatory Roofs

One of the downsides of glass is that it is not always a cheaper option, so if you are on a budget, choose a polycarbonate conservatory roof. Polycarbonate roofs are a very affordable material. Its appearance isn’t as sophisticated or stylish as glass, but you will still benefit from plenty of natural light. They are very long lasting as well because you will benefit from it lasting from about 15 or 20 years. Not only that, but they are lightweight and easy to install, meaning you will enjoy your new roof in no time.

Tiled Roof Conservatory

You will benefit from a tiled roof conservatory because it is very strong and lightweight. It also gives you an extra source of protection due to them being very tough and independent. They will last you for a very long time, standing firm against even the toughest weather conditions. However, in comparison to glass or polycarbonate roofs, they take much longer to install, but the roofs will last much longer in the long run. They are very secure thanks to the rafters and bolsters that are used to increase your home’s protection.

A tiled roof conservatory is also ideal because it will give your home a lot of thermal protection, saving you plenty of money on your energy bills. The tiled roof conservatories will create a robust thermal barrier because they will let natural heat in your home while leaving cold air outside.

 

Solid Roof Conservatory

When you choose a solid roof conservatory, you will get improved insulation. This is because the space will stay warm in winter and colder in summer. This will help you enjoy a more relaxing living space because the solid material will boost your kerb appeal.

What’s more, you will also reduce your heating bills as well because the solid roofs are very thermally efficient. It will also help your home stay more private in the long run as well because you won’t have to worry about the rain sound coming into your home. This is because the robust design of your conservatory roof will make loud sounds quieter in the long run. A solid conservatory roof is also ideal because of its flat pitch, meaning that the rainwater will roll off instead of seeping in.
