Transform Your Conservatory With A Solid Roof

When exposed to the hot, summer sun, old-style conservatories with polycarbonate or glass roofs have a tendency to get ridiculously warm inside. But believe it or not, conservatories needn’t be completely out of bounds during the summer months, not when they incorporate a solid roof system.

Manufactured using traditional slate or modern synthetic tiles, solid roofs are designed to make conservatory spaces usable all-year round.

Whether it’s sweltering outside or snowing, a solid roof promises you a cosy conservatory interior in every type of weather, making it feel almost brand new again.

To be able to add a solid roof onto an existing conservatory you MUST first get the necessary permissions (Planet can handle this). Once they have been obtained, the installation usually takes just a few days to complete and at the conclusion of it, improved thermal efficiency isn’t the only advantage.

Lower energy bills

To make old conservatories habitable in summer and winter you often have to rely on cooling and heating systems and excessive use of them negatively impacts on your energy bills. You can keep them permanently switch off as a solid roof will provide consistently reliable temperature regulation.

Noise-reducing qualities

Living in the rainy North of England can cause you a headache when relaxing in your conservatory as it can sound noisy when bouncing off the roof. The lightweight tiles / slates that make up a solid roofing system are very thick and they help to restrict the impact of rainfall to ensure that minimal noise is heard inside.

Aesthetically-pleasing

Modernising a traditional conservatory with a solid roof makes the design look more visually appealing. The tiles / slates come in a series of authentic colour options to give the impression that the roof has been in place from the very beginning and you will finishes that will brilliantly imitate the colour of the tiles / slates on the roof of your house.

Added value

There is no value in having a conservatory that sits empty for most of the year. Once thermal efficiency has been reinstated thanks to a solid roof, suddenly the structure will become valuable again. This will also put you in a better position to sell the property if you ever decide to put it on the market.
