Unlike homeowners who invested in conservatories 20 or 30 years ago, today’s buyers have a clear choice (excuse the pun) of the kind of roof they’d like. Glass, of course, is still as popular as it was back then – it throws plenty of light into the extension, distinguishing it from other rooms in the property. And unlike yesteryear, double glazing is much more thermally efficient than it ever was.
And then there’s the solid tiled conservatory roof. Featuring the latest in high-performance styrene technology, a tiled conservatory roof gives you a comfortable living space all round because of its excellent thermal efficiency. With a tiled roof, temperature extremes (too cold in winter, too warm in summer) are a thing of the past, making it a superior choice to older polycarbonate roofs.
A tiled roof gives a sense of permanence to the conservatory. Once it was a summer indulgence, now it can be used right through the winter, allowing you to take full advantage of the beautiful changing seasons. For anyone using the building as a home office, this is terrific news; no more having to drag desks and computers ‘indoors’ as soon as the weather turns cold and wet.
If your conservatory is overlooked, a solid tiled roof is going to give you a lot more privacy. You can, of course, add roof lanterns to a solid roof which can be tinted so that your privacy is maintained while you continue to receive a good amount of natural light through the glazing.
Both glass and solid tiled roof conservatories have plenty of options when it comes to design. Our replacement conservatory roofs are suitable for a wide range of conservatory styles including Victorian, Edwardian, Gable-ended, Lean-to and P-shaped. The significant difference between glass and solid tiled roofs is that tiles can be matched to an existing roof. In Yorkshire, most properties have either traditional slate or tiled roofs and our high-quality Equinox solid roof systems are available in 16 different colours, with distinctive styles of Envirotile, Slateskin, steel or composite tile options to choose from. In short, we’ve got you covered, no matter what style of roof you currently have.
As mentioned, tiled conservatory roofs have superb thermal performance. Our Equinox model’s lightweight polymer tiles are made from 75 per cent recycled materials and the roof is constructed on a timber deck with aluminium rafters, making it exceptionally strong. Insulated plasterboard is fitted to the interior, helping to achieve U-values (the standard measure of thermal efficiency) as low as 0.15 – roughly 10 times more efficient than an A-rated window. By any standards, that is incredible performance in terms of reducing energy bills.
If you’ve had a glass conservatory roof, you’ll remember how much noise was made when it rained, and especially if hailstones fell. A tiled replacement roof has naturally sound-insulating properties, meaning that the bang and clatter of the elements landing on it is minimised. And talking of things falling from the sky….a tiled roof will collect far less visible dirt than a glass or polycarbonate. It will still need cleaning from time to time to keep it in good order, but it won’t look unsightly if you don’t clean it for a while.
The flexibility and thermal performance that a tiled roof brings to a conservatory is reflected in an increase in the value of your home. The conservatory’s all-year-round use means it can be used as a home office, TV room, play area, home gym or just a place to chill out, and if you come to sell your home, you’ll almost certainly realise the value of your roof investment.
In summary, if you prioritize energy efficiency and insulation, a solid conservatory roof is the ideal choice.
