Everything You Need to Know Before Choosing a Conservatory Roof

Wednesday, 14 August 2019

Deciding on which materials and design you want to go with your conservatory is, in essence, like choosing how you want to design a new house. You need to decide on the materials, the size, how the layout will work, how it will function, and more. One of the most important decisions you will make in regards to your conservatory is the roof.

There are many pros and cons for the variety of roof types, and knowing your options before you begin can help you design a space that you and your whole family will continue to use throughout the year.

Is a glasss roof for you?

Glass roofs are iconic and easily make your bright, sun friendly space into a beautiful centrepiece of your home. They make your conservatory into a classic orangery for your own family. Enjoy your own homemade tea in the conservatory during the winter, let plants thrive, and enjoy a getaway right at home.

Covered roofs

Offering better insulation and protection ,covered roofs, or hybrid covered roofs, these roofs offer a more practical side in the heating stakes. With walls made up entirely of glass, your conservatory will still be bright, but you won’t want to hide in the summer months.

Types of Conservatories

There are multiple types of conservatories, and which option is best for you will depend on what you are looking to build and where that conservatory will be. If you have large trees on your property or are building your conservatory so that it gets morning sun instead of the afternoon sun, you have more options.

If you want to build an extension, rather than a conservatory, you can still add classic elements to improve the look and brightness of this new space by adding glass skylights.
