Spring has officially sprung! If you have a conservatory, you’re probably looking forward to sitting in a beautiful light and warm space, but if it’s a faulty polycarbonate conservatory, the reality can sometimes be different. This is because the temperature can vary wildly according to the weather, meaning it’s not as usable as you might think. One of the best solutions for this is a solid conservatory roof replacement, which helps you to enjoy your conservatory all year round, no matter what the weather brings. Let’s look at the benefits of solid conservatory roofs and how you can upgrade yours.
What is a solid conservatory roof?
Traditionally, conservatories have been built with glass roofs which can give you great views of the skies above. Prior to 2010, planning regulations stated that for a space to be considered a conservatory, 75% of the roof needed to be translucent, allowing it to be constructed without planning permission. However, since this has been relaxed, an increasing number of people are now investing in solid conservatory roofs to maximise this part of their home.
Many of our customers ask, “can a conservatory have a solid roof?” and the answer is yes! A Falcon Installations solid conservatory roof provides a spacious vaulted ceiling with tiles that seamlessly match the existing character and style of your South Wales home. The insulated structural roof panels provide significant thermal benefits as well as a stylistic upgrade, ensuring your conservatory can enjoy incredible strength, durability, and protection from the elements. So, are solid conservatory roofs any good? Here are a few of the benefits…
A space to enjoy for 12 months of the year
When the sun beats down on a polycarbonate conservatory roof, it can quickly turn your conservatory into a greenhouse, meaning temperatures skyrocket. However, as the outside temperatures drop, so will the temperatures inside your conservatory, and during the winter months it can be too cold to bear. This can mean the added room in your home is redundant for many months of the year.
Adding a solid conservatory roof means you can enjoy high-quality insulation that helps to regulate your indoor temperatures. You still get many of the benefits of having a conservatory, while also ensuring it can be used at any time of the year.
Fighting the battle against energy bills
We’re all seeing our energy bills rise yet again, so it’s important to make sure every aspect of your home is as energy efficient as possible. Conservatories often lose most of their heat through the roof, especially if they’re polycarbonate, as this material has very few thermal properties. This means during the winter; a conservatory can be extremely hard to heat. Solid conservatory roofs contain their own specially insulated panels that can help retain heat when you need it the most, making your conservatory significantly more energy efficient. By doing so, your heating won’t need to work quite as hard, and you can enjoy using your conservatory with lower energy costs.
Enjoying a quieter life
For many, a conservatory is intended to be a sanctuary of quiet and relaxation, but those who have experienced noisy neighbours or listened to the rain drumming on their conservatory roof will tell you this is often not the case. A significant benefit of a South Wales solid conservatory roof replacement is the noise reduction it offers. The tiled and insulated roof protects you from the deafening sounds of the weather hammering your conservatory, as well as helping block out the sounds of nearby traffic, or the activities of your neighbours.
Adding a new sense of style
Not only can solid conservatory roofs make your space feel better, but they can make it look better too. Many conservatories can prove to be a bit of an eyesore, as they are often in stark contrast to the rest of the building they’re attached to. However, a solid conservatory roof can help this blend into the rest of your home seamlessly. At Falcon Installations, we have a wide range of tiles and slates available for you to choose from, so your new conservatory roof is sure to suit your home’s style. This means you can have a conservatory that takes on a traditional period style or something ultra-modern, ensuring it’s in keeping with the rest of your property.
As a family run business, everyone at Falcon Installations is committed to providing our customers with the very best quality of products and service available in South Wales. We will work with you to ensure you get a solid conservatory roof that meets all your needs, with as little stress as possible.
