A converted conservatory is a wonderful addition to any home. 

But, when it comes to designing a conservatory transformation, there are many factors that might influence your decision. 

One of the most important decisions to make is considering a conservatory roof replacement.  But this also brings up some questions:

• What kind of roof do I want for my converted conservatory?
• Will my conservatory roof replacement provide insulation?
• Will I lose light with a solid roof conservatory?

Don’t worry you’re not alone! These doubts and concerns are natural when contemplating a conservatory roof conversion.

There are many options available in the market but the most popular one to install and the brand that Projects 4 Roofing trusts, is the Guardian Warm Roof. 

Let’s explore further to answer the above questions and find out why a Guardian Warm Roof is the roofing answer to your conservatory transformation.

If I have a solid roof conservatory, will I lose light?

Your converted conservatory should be enjoyed all year round. With a Guardian Warm Roof installed, making it a solid roof conservatory; this is definitely achievable.

When undergoing a conservatory transformation with a solid roof, lighting is often one of the most important considerations.

When you transform your conservatory roof to a solid, opaque structure; naturally you think it will prohibit the amount of light you receive.

This is not necessarily the case! 

The installation of a solid, tiled, insulated conservatory roof; typically results in minimal loss of light (around 11% less than glass and around 5% less than polycarbonate roofs).

To further maximize the brightness of your solid roof conservatory, using light or white paint on the vaulted ceiling, enables you to reflect light off the walls and around the room so the minimal loss of light is hardly noticeable at all.

A solid Guardian Warm Roof provides insulation that keeps your conservatory warm in winter and cool in summer, reduces noise pollution, and prevents mould and condensation. Plus, it’s long-lasting with a great guarantee.  

With all those benefits, customers deem the 5-11% light reduction a fair trade-off. Plus, Projects 4 Roofing have other ways to light up your life!

Solid roof conservatory: Roof lights and Spotlights as an option

Roof lights and spotlights are a great option for homeowners looking to install additional lighting in their converted conservatories. 

They say that light can change your mood. So, the amount of additional lighting required will largely depend on the initial position and intended purpose of your converted conservatory.

Roof lights and spotlights provide a clean, sleek look and they can also be positioned according to your needs.

A dimmer switch on the wall will work for most uses but if you have a specific area in mind, for reading or watching TV, then directional spotlights could be built into your solid roof conservatory.

Additional Benefits of Installing a Guardian Warm Roof

Installing a Guardian Warm Roof will also provide your converted conservatory with additional benefits. 

A Guardian Roof not only provides the benefits of energy efficiency and soundproofing, but it also provides a layer of protection for your home from the elements that cause weathering.
