When you think of a conservatory, you probably think of a sky-facing glass structure, but this doesn’t have to be the case. In fact, more and more people are turning to solid roof conservatories because of the number of benefits they can bring. Here, we take a look at the best roofs for conservatories and ask whether it is worth putting a solid roof on a conservatory or if you should leave it completely glazed.
Why should I put a solid roof on my conservatory?
If you already have a conservatory, you might find there are plenty of months in the year that you are not able to use it. This is because it can become too hot during the summer and too cold in the winter depending on its location. One of the reasons for this is a poor-quality glass roof, so replacing it for something solid means you will be able to use your space all year round.
Once upon a time, a conservatory was considered something that added value to your home, but more people are now aware of the headaches they can create. A solid roof can therefore help increase what your property is worth. A solid roof can also improve the style of your conservatory, as it will be more modern and contemporary.
When should I replace my conservatory roof?
Conservatory roofs in South Wales can be replaced at any time, but it is particularly important to do this if you notice things like leaking rainwater, visible damage, cold spots, sagging in the roof or any mould or moss growth.
If you simply feel like it is time for a change, then you can replace your roof at any point. Falcon Installations’ solid conservatory roofs all come with lightweight tiles or slates that provide excellent thermal and acoustic installation.
Conservatory style: how to make it look good
The design of some conservatories can now look a little dated and are not to everybody’s taste. Adding a solid roof can help make it a lot more aesthetically pleasing and appeal to a wider audience, as you can choose from a range of colours and styles to suit your home.
Many people are resistant to a solid conservatory roof because they are fearful of the amount of light they will lose, so why not think about adding a rooflight or roof lantern into your solid roof? An Ultra Sky rooflight system will bring in more light without all the extra hassle of a fully glazed roof or any loss of energy efficiency.
Making full use of your space
Adding a conservatory to your home should feel like an extension but it can often come with limitations. Adding a solid roof gives you a lot more options, and you can really make the most of the increased floor space in your property. Some people feel conservatory temperatures are too difficult to control, meaning the room is left redundant. A solid conservatory roof helps you have much greater temperature control, so you can use your room whatever hobbies you choose, and the reduced glare from the sun can also make it a great office space if you are working from home.
