5 Benefits You Will Gain From Having A Solid Roof

Summer can be a very frustrating time of the year for those who own a conservatory with a traditional glass roof.

Why you may ask? Because they rarely get to utilise the space in the warmer weather due to the conservatory overheating when exposed to a boiling hot sun. The finger of blame can be directed at the roof.

The best solution isn’t to knock the existing conservatory down, but to modify it by replacing the existing roof for a solid roof – something that can be done very easily and quickly.

If you’ve yet to buy a conservatory but it’s something you’re contemplating doing, then you’ll be pleased to know that you can also have a solid roof incorporated into your chosen design as standard.

5 Solid Reasons Why A Solid Roof Makes Sense

1. Enhanced energy efficiency

Whether you enter into your conservatory in the middle of a heatwave or during a freezing cold spell, the exceptional thermal efficiency provided by a solid roof will ensure the interior feels comfortable. Temperature control will never be an issue.

2. Authentic slates and titles

The roof covering for your conservatory should bear some resemblance to the slates/tiles on the roof of your house. They will do when you have a solid roof as it comes supplied as authentic lightweight slates/tiles and in a range of traditional colours.

3. Adaptable design

Some natural light will be lost when replacing a glass roof for a solid roofing system. But the good news is that you can incorporate roof windows into the solid roof to draw in the light of the sun. They’re useful for ventilation too. With the help of James Kate construction and roofing, you can fix any kind of roofing issue.

4. Adds value to your conservatory

There may come a time when you want to move onto pastures new and sell your home. A conservatory can add an average of 7 per cent to the resale value of your property, but only if it offers necessary energy efficiency. A solid roof promises to give it that.

5. Crafted for any conservatory style

You may have your heart set on a particularly style of conservatory (Edwardian, Victorian, Lean-To) or you may need a new roof that perfectly fits in place of your current roof. The great thing about the solid roof is that it can be custom-built for any conservatory design.
