Transform Your Conservatory with Solid Roofs

Written by Clare Whitehall | Jun 24, 2022

Conservatory roofs are often overlooked when it comes to the home's exterior.

Sometimes, this is because it’s not as noticeable as other features of the home, such as the windows or doors, or simply due to price.

However, this does not mean that it should be neglected.

The use of traditional roofing materials, such as a glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof, may seem cheaper but in the long run, can present many problems.

Whereas solid conservatory roofs have a number of benefits and are an excellent addition to any home.

If you want to avoid the hassle and not replace your conservatory roof every few years, then it’s worth investing in a solid, insulated conservatory roof.
Read on, as we show you why!

Why should we invest in a solid, insulated conservatory roof?


The key to a long-lasting conservatory is choosing the right materials.

Solid conservatory roofs are a popular addition to many homes, but not all of them are made with the same quality.

They should be made from durable materials that can withstand harsh weather conditions and high winds.

With quality conservatory roof insulation so that it remains cool in the summer and doesn’t lose heat during the winter months.

How efficient is a solid roof conservatory?

To clear up any confusion about what type of roofing material you should install on your conservatory. Solid conservatory roofs are the best option and will give you the best return.

  • A Guardian Warm Roof meets the new Part L requirements producing a U-Value of 0.145W/ m2K
  • A glass conservatory roof produces a U-Value between 1.2-3W/ m2K (dependent on material thickness)
  • A polycarbonate conservatory roof produces a U-Value between 1.5- 2.4W/ m2K (dependent on material thickness)

Confused? Don’t be! All it means is, that the lower the U-value, the better the conservatory roof insulation.

Investing in a solid roof for your conservatory is a wise decision. It will save you money on energy bills and make your home more comfortable to live in.

The benefits of solid conservatory roofs are:

  • More durable and last longer
  • Provide better insulation to keep the heat or cold out
  • Requires minimal maintenance than your old conservatory roof
  • More aesthetically pleasing, matching your exterior decor
  • Noise reduction, lowering sounds of elements or neighbours!
  • Decreased energy consumption and energy bills
  • Increased conservatory uses all year long
