Choosing The Right Roof For Your Conservatory
At Connaught Conservatories, we understand that selecting the perfect roof for your client’s conservatory is a pivotal decision that significantly impacts both aesthetics and functionality. As a trusted supplier of conservatories serving trade partners across the UK, we recognise that your clients expect solutions that combine style, durability, and energy efficiency. Whether you are refurbishing an existing conservatory or installing a new one, choosing the right roof ensures enhanced comfort, improved thermal performance, and long-lasting satisfaction for homeowners.
When it comes to roofs, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The right choice depends on a variety of factors, including the property’s architecture, clients’ lifestyle preferences, budget, and the intended use of the space. To help you make informed recommendations to your customers, we’ve outlined the key types of conservatory roofs we supply, highlighting the benefits and considerations for each.
Glass Roofs
The traditional glass roof remains a favoured choice for those who want to maximise natural light and enjoy unobstructed views of the sky. Modern glass roofs use high-performance double or triple glazing with toughened or laminated glass to offer excellent thermal insulation and safety.
A glass roof is an ideal option for garden rooms or conservatories used as social spaces, where daylight enhances the experience and a sense of openness is desired. However, it is important to advise clients that glass roofs can sometimes lead to overheating in summer if not fitted with appropriate shading solutions. Noise reduction during rainfall can also be a concern but can be mitigated with insulated glass options.
Ultraroof
Connaught Conservatories offers the Ultraroof, a revolutionary tiled roofing system that combines the aesthetic appeal of a traditional pitched roof with the lightness and slimline design suited for conservatories. The Ultraroof is constructed using high-quality materials and advanced engineering, which provides superior insulation to keep the space warm in winter and cool in summer.
Trade customers often recommend the Ultraroof for clients who want a stunning transformation that blends seamlessly with their existing property’s style. It is also an excellent solution for homeowners looking to use their conservatory all year round, turning it into a versatile, energy efficient living space. The Ultraroof’s lightweight frame allows for easy installation, often eliminating the need for major structural alterations.
Flat Roof Options
For a contemporary look, flat roofs can be a practical and cost-effective choice. Flat roofs are generally more affordable than pitched roofs, both in terms of initial installation and ongoing maintenance. Their simple design requires fewer materials and less labour, which could result in cost savings. Our flat roof systems use robust materials that are designed for durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions. Homeowners appreciate the clean lines and modern aesthetic that flat roofs provide, making them an ideal choice for both new builds and renovations.
Flat roofs also lend themselves well to integrating rooflights or skylights, balancing natural light with the design’s sleek appearance. From a trade partner’s perspective, flat roof installations are often quicker, with less complex mechanics than pitched roofs, allowing for efficient project turnaround times.
Metrotile Roofing
The Ultraroof Metrotile offers durable and stylish metal roofing tiles that can be an excellent alternative to traditional roofing materials. These tiles are lightweight, weather resistant, and provide a classic tiled appearance without the associated weight issues. For conservatories that require a roof that blends robustness with aesthetic appeal, Metrotile roofing is a dependable option.
This roofing solution is particularly suitable for refurbishment projects where the existing conservatory frame can support the lightweight metal tiles. It’s also a fitting choice for properties situated in areas prone to harsh weather, as Metrotile is designed to withstand wind, rain, and snow, ensuring longevity and low maintenance.
