The Advantages of a Tiled Conservatory Roof
A tiled conservatory roof transforms your extension into a space you can enjoy 12 months of the year. They are highly popular as they are much cooler in summer than traditional glass or polycarbonate conservatory roofs and they provide better thermal efficiency which reduces utility bills. Often they are cheaper than real slate or tiles and are available in a wide range of colours and finishes to suit your home.
A solid conservatory roof will take a couple of days to fit on a standard sized conservatory and can be fitted to both new and existing conservatories. The old roof will be removed and then the solid insulated roof will be fitted onto the structural rafters and joists using the appropriate screws and fixings. Once the roof is fitted it can be decorated or left natural. The insulating boards used are made from an extremely durable and hard wearing polymer and are formed into tiles and shingle shapes that look just like the original roof on your home.
The main advantage of a tiled conservatory roof is the dramatic increase in thermal efficiency. The solid insulated boards are engineered to trap in heat during winter to keep the room cosy, while the ventilation systems fitted around the perimeter of the roof will ensure that the conservatory stays cool and comfortable during summer.
These roofs are also highly resistant to damage caused by extreme weather conditions such as rain, hail and high winds. They are long lasting, and with minimal maintenance will last for many years, adding a valuable asset to your home.
A new tiled roof will dramatically improve the sound insulation of your conservatory, reducing noise levels from both inside and outside. This is especially important if you live in an area with frequent and prolonged thunderstorms or if your property is situated next to a busy road.
You can choose to have your new tiled roof either plain or coloured and you can also opt for a decorative ridge and finial to compliment the existing structure. The roof can be finished with a decorative plaster ceiling and you can also include the fitting of downlights, a speaker system or other electrical equipment. Wires can be concealed within the ceiling to keep your conservatory clean and tidy.
A new tiled conservatory roof will add substantial value to your home and will be an investment that will pay for itself over time through lower energy bills. A good company will offer a free home visit to assess your existing conservatory and make sure it is structurally sound enough for a new roof before providing you with design and colour inspiration and a detailed quotation. They will also be able to offer you advice on any electrical work or other additional improvements that can be added to the room such as roof windows and lighting. These can all be done at the same time as the roof installation or at a later date.
