Converting your conservatory roof from uPVC to tiles

Conservatory refurbished with a Metrotile Lightweight Roof System Shingle Charcoal Burnt Umber

uPVC roofing for your conservatory provides no insulation nor heat retention during hot or cold weather. This means the space can become unbearably hot or too cold to reside in when the weather conditions are extreme. Converting your roofing to solid roof tiles can create a more usable space, whatever the weather.

Energy efficiency

Not only does uPVC roofing do nothing for insulating your conservatory, it can also have an impact on your energy bills. By providing better insulation with solid roof tiles, you can help your whole home retain heat better and reduce your energy bills in the long run.

Noise pollution

Those with a uPVC roof will understand the huge amount of external noise that occurs. Rain, snow and sleet sound extremely loud when landing on uPVC. Not to mention other external sounds such as passing traffic. With properly insulated conservatory roof tiles comes better protection against noise pollution. Conservatory solid tiles are essential specialised lightweight versions of the roofing on your home, so you will benefit from reduced external sounds.

Long lasting roofing

Having a solid roof fitted means conservatory roofs can last much longer. uPVC has an average lifespan of 10-15 years whereas a solid roofed conservatory can last as long as 50 years. Solid tiles are much sturdier, with more protection against the weather elements and require virtually no maintenance to keep them in perfect condition. uPVC, on the other hand, will require cleaning and servicing to ensure they stay water tight and secure.

If you’re looking for a conservatory roof replacement, solid roof tiles are your best option. Metrotile’s lightweight roofing poses no strain on your conservatory structure and comes with a 40-year weatherproof guarantee so you can enjoy the space for years to come.
