Is your conservatory too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter months? Perhaps you’re dealing with excessive condensation or tired of the deafening sound of rain on your polycarbonate roof? These are common complaints from Dorset homeowners struggling to get year-round use from their conservatory space.
Most often, the issue is the roof of your conservatory and basic insulation attempts like timber battens and internal boarding don’t work. A full roof replacement can dramatically help.
Common Problems with Older Conservatories
Older conservatories, including ones with plastic roofs or poor conservatory roof insulation systems, often struggle to maintain a comfortable temperature. In summer, the roof can produce sun glare (especially poor quality glass roofs), they can become unbearably hot, and sunlight and UV rays can cause sun damage to the structure and furniture inside. In the colder months, their poor insulation means they fail to retain heat. This can raise energy use and make the space impossible to use.
Poorly insulated conservatories are also more likely to have moisture problems. Drastic temperature changes can increase the risk of condensation, which can then cause dampness and mould.
Why is Roof Replacement Often Better Than Conservatory Insulation?
While various methods and insulation materials claim to manage temperature or improve efficiency, they often only work briefly. This is an expensive way to mask the issue. A complete roof replacement is often the most efficient way to address the core issue. It will provide better insulation than other solutions and won’t compromise the structural integrity of your conservatory.
Poole Joinery’s Premium Roofing Solutions
Ultraframe Tiled Roofs
An Ultraframe tiled roof is one of the best insulation options on the market for improving the insulation and efficiency of your existing roof. They reach extremely low U-values of 0.16 W/m2k. This is vital in keeping your conservatory comfortable all year and reducing your energy costs. They also improve acoustics, reducing the sound of rain and other noise to create a much quieter room. Each roof installation is fully approved by JHAI, so you can trust the quality and compliance.
The system offers top-quality tiles in three great colours that allow you to match the style of your property. We can install this tiled roof with roof lights and glazed panes of glass for increased natural light. These can be placed in the best spots to bring light where you need them while retaining the thermal efficiency.
The tiles are incredibly robust and can last for up to 50 years. The smooth finish adds a pleasant feel to the room. You can also include lighting and speaker systems for extra comfort and functionality. You can find data sheets and full installation details of this product on our website.
High-Performance Flat Roofs
Our modern flat roof solutions combine aesthetics and excellent performance. Despite their name, the structure of the conservatory roof has a subtle 10-degree pitch. This helps water drain properly while keeping a sleek and new look. The strong insulation reduces heat loss, keeping the space warm in winter and your conservatory cool in summer.
The breathable membrane helps stop moisture from building, dramatically reducing the chance of condensation, dampness and mould. A key part of its design is its weatherproofing, with our flat roofs made to handle all types of UK weather. The straightforward design lets you add roof lights or lanterns. The versatile design allows for integrating roof lights or lanterns, letting you customise the amount of natural light entering your space.
Cost-effective installation combines with long-term durability to make our flat roofs an excellent investment in your property. Our modern construction methods and materials ensure a watertight finish that will protect your home for years to come, all while maintaining its contemporary aesthetic appeal. Most importantly, it can drastically improve your conservatory’s energy efficiency and insulation.
New Conservatory Installation: A Complete Solution
You may have decided that a complete conservatory replacement is better for you. If you are considering changing your conservatory, we have many styles to choose from, including Victorian, Edwardian, Gable and Lean-to designs – we have product pages for each of these types. Each conservatory is crafted using Ultraframe components, ensuring superior quality and performance. Our conservatories can be fitted with either flat or tiled roofs, depending on your preferences for natural light and efficiency.
A new conservatory also increases the value of your property, offsetting at least some of the initial investment.
