Conservatory Roofs

Undoubtedly, the roof is one of the most important parts of your conservatory: it provides protection from the elements and the glazing material you choose will have a major effect on the appearance and comfort of your room. It is, therefore, important to consult your supplier about the benefits of their roofing system so you fully understand what it offers to make sure it is suitable for your needs.

It’s very likely that hardwood conservatory suppliers will use their own design and specification for timber rafters, perhaps only buying-in non-wood products, such as guttering and external rafter cappings.

Aluminium and uPVC conservatory suppliers, on the other hand, will probably use very similar roofing systems that are bought in from a specialist supplier as:

• a complete unit, ready for installation; or
• component parts that your supplier fabricates to fit your property.

Regardless of the roofing system on offer, it is essential that it’s installed properly and your chosen conservatory supplier offers a meaningful warranty – on both parts and installation – with a timely and efficient after-sales service.

Glazing material

There’s a wide variety of glazing materials on the market, some of which are highly energy-efficient, with manufacturers constantly striving to make improvements in light of the threat of global warming. The information here is intended a rough guide only: any professional conservatory contractor will be aware of the latest developments and pleased to share their knowledge and expertise, as well as recommending the best product to suit your needs.
