A Guide to Choosing a New Roof for Your Conservatory

September 2, 2024|News

Conservatories were once seen as an extension of the garden, a sunroom enjoyed in the warmer months. However, advancements in technology have transformed them into usable living spaces year-round.

But what if your existing conservatory roof isn’t playing its part?

In the past, you might have been limited to single glazed glass or polycarbonate – materials that lack thermal efficiency and can make the space unusable in extreme temperatures. Here at Tyneside Home Improvements, we offer a variety of new conservatory roof options crafted from innovative materials for superior performance.

Is it time to replace your conservatory roof?

Several signs indicate it’s time for a conservatory roof replacement.

Does the roof leak during heavy rain? Is your conservatory unbearably hot in summer and cold in the winter months? Is there a constant draft, making it uncomfortable to use the space?

Perhaps the existing roof is simply outdated and doesn’t suit the style of your property anymore. If you’ve found that your existing conservatory roof is no longer suitable, it’s time to consider a new roof for your conservatory!

New roof for conservatory: the benefits

Replacing just the conservatory roof offers several benefits. If the foundation of your conservatory is in good working order,  it’s generally more budget-friendly and quicker to install than a complete conservatory overhaul. This minimises disruption to your home, allowing you to enjoy the transformed space sooner.

Additionally, our conservatory roof options are lightweight, meaning it likely won’t require structural changes to your existing conservatory.

Solid tiled roof options from Tyneside Home Improvements

At Tyneside, we offer premium SupaLite tiled conservatory roofs, providing a stylish and durable solution for North East homes.

These roofs feature either Extralight Tiles or Tapco slates in a variety of attractive colours. Fully compliant with building regulations and compatible with all conservatory styles, these roofs blend into your existing living area.

The super-insulated design and weather-resistant PVC fascia and soffit ensure optimal thermal efficiency and protection from the elements.

For extra natural light without compromising comfort, we can also incorporate Sky Vista glass panels into your solid conservatory roof. These panels feature innovative solar control technology, are available in clear or blue-tinted finishes, and offer a self-cleaning option for low maintenance and energy efficiency.

Glass conservatory roof systems

As well as our solid roofing systems, at Tyneside we offer customisable glass conservatory roofs from Ultraframe, a leading manufacturer of high-quality glazing systems. This choice s a great option for those who wish to prioritise natural light while still ensuring excellent thermal efficiency.

These glass roofs are available with either uPVC or aluminium frames and are available with optional roof vents, making them suitable for all conservatory types and styles.

Choose from a selection of attractive frame colours, including standard white, satin black, anthracite grey, and over 200 RAL colours for aluminium frames.

Which conservatory roof system is best for me?

Choosing the best conservatory roof system depends on your individual preferences and needs!

If you prioritise natural light and a modern aesthetic, a glass roof might be the ideal choice. For year-round comfort, excellent insulation, and a more traditional look, a solid tiled roof is a great option.

If you’d like a hand with deciding on the best new conservatory roof system for you, please get in touch! Our friendly team at Tyneside Home Improvements can help you weigh the pros and cons of each system and select the perfect roof for your conservatory.

Do I need planning permission for a replacement conservatory roof?

In most cases, you won’t need planning permission for a conservatory roof replacement as long as the project falls under permitted development. However, it’s always best to check with your local planning authority. Our team at Tyneside can advise you on any planning permission, should you need it!
