Conservatories can often be too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, making them only usable at certain times of the year. This is mainly due to the lack of insulation and suitable roofing used on conservatories, such as uPVC, polycarbonate or glass roofs, which do not retain or reflect heat well. A conservatory roof conversion typically means a roofing conversion in order to make the room much more usable, as an extension of your home rather than a space to be used in mild weather conditions.

Upgrading your roofing
By removing old polycarbonate or uPVC roofing and replacing it with sturdy and solid roofing, you can create a space that will reflect heat on hot days and retain heat in the cooler weather. Ensuring your roofing is more efficient at keeping in heat will also help with your energy bills and heating costs, making the room more efficient for both energy and your wallet.

Conservatory structure
Conservatory frames and structures are not always as stable as those used for extensions, which is why it is essential to choose specialised lightweight roofing if you want to convert your conservatory. Lightweight roofing is designed for these kind of structures, and offers all the benefits of traditional roofing such as better insulation, but will not do any damage to your conservatory.
