When it comes to upgrading your conservatory, a tiled roof offers numerous benefits. These include reducing your energy bills, improving insulation, and increasing the aesthetics of your home.
Your conservatory will feel warmer and cosy all year round. This will encourage you to use it more often, and also make it a great place for children’s play and homework.
Cost-effectiveness
If you have a traditional conservatory, you may find that it is unusable in the summer and feels like stepping into a large ice cube in the winter. A SupaLite tiled roof can solve this problem by insulating the conservatory and regulating its temperature, which means you can enjoy it all year round.
A new roof will also save you money on energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. In addition, it will improve the overall value of your property, which is sure to impress potential buyers.
Moreover, you can choose from a wide range of colours to fit in with your home. You can even opt for composite panels that are insulated and energy efficient. The result is a stylish roof that adds value to your home and combines a conservatory with the rest of your house.
Durability
A tiled conservatory roof is very durable and is designed to last for many years. They are also much easier to maintain than glass or polycarbonate alternatives as they do not expose dirt as easily. This makes them an ideal choice for homeowners who want to spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying their conservatory.
Unlike old polycarbonate conservatory roofs, a new tiled roof will be fully insulated and thermally efficient, keeping your home warmer and reducing your energy bills. This is a significant financial saving and will make your conservatory more comfortable to use all year round.
A lightweight tiled conservatory roof also allows a lot of light to flood inside the room. This is especially important when the weather is bad and you want to relax indoors.
Energy efficiency
While old conservatories with glass or polycarbonate roofs allow heat to infiltrate and escape, a new tiled roof will offer far better insulation. This will enable you to keep your extension warm in winter and cool in summer.
As a result, you will save money on energy bills while helping to lower your carbon footprint. With energy costs rising, homeowners across the South West are increasingly looking for ways to save on home heating costs.
Replacing an old glass or polycarbonate conservatory with a solid roof will not require planning permission if you don’t change the structure’s original height. However, you will need to make sure the structure can support the additional weight and comply with building regulations. This may involve structural alterations, including the addition of joists and rafters.
Aesthetics
Whether it’s for new builds or replacing existing conservatories, tiled roofs are a stunning alternative to polycarbonate and glass roofs. They blend in with the aesthetic of your property and help to give your home a premium look.
They’re also better insulators than traditional glass and are often a better option for sun rooms. They can allow light to flood into the space and can be matched with Velux windows to create a light and airy living area.
Ultraframe’s lightweight roof systems can be fitted with ease and without putting undue pressure on the frames of your existing conservatory. They’re available in a variety of colours, enabling you to choose the style that matches your home. They’re also quick to install, minimising disruption to your home.
Security
The hardwearing tiles used in conservatory roof conversions are a deterrent for burglars as they’re much more difficult to prise off than traditional glass or polycarbonate panels. This makes a conservatory that has been fitted with a tiled roof a more secure place to spend time in all year round.
The uPVC tiles have a low u-value and will help your conservatory to be more energy efficient than it was originally. It will also be a more comfortable space to use all year round as it is better insulated.
The tiles come in a variety of colours so you can match them with the rest of your house. This makes the conservatory look more like a part of your home rather than an add on and could even increase the value of your property.
