Conservatories

A conservatory is a popular room to enjoy some relaxation – a little escape haven for us all so why not make it a defined and useable space.

A conservatory can add much-needed living space to a home and as long as it is created with a use in mind then they are a fantastic, light, open and airy rooms that can connect you to the outdoors. If your conservatory is over 15 years old then the roof will most likely need repair or complete replacement.

If you’re thinking about a new conservatory roof then tiles or solid conservatory roof panels will be the solution that offers you the modern look you are looking for without the expense of demolishing the existing conservatory and starting again from scratch. Tiles and panels are now designed to slot together, making the installation quick and easy.

A new tiled conservatory roof offers added strength to your existing conservatory, a modern look, a comfortable temperature all year round and no need to be looking at dirty or smeary glass or polycarbonate roof panels that are so difficult to keep clean. You can include roof lights into your new tiled roof and this ensures you still get natural light coming through the ceiling.

When you are considering replacing your conservatory roof, think about what you want from the room, is it a spring-summer escape or do you want to be able to use it all year round, as this will determine the type of roof you replace it with.
