Change your conservatory forever
The outdated glass and polycarbonate roofs have been phased out, thankfully, as they were notoriously hard to maintain, let noise in easily and offered poor weatherproofing.
Constructed from aluminium, the roof will put a stop to heat readily escaping from a conservatory, with its solar control glazing keep the temperature well-regulated so that you never feel excess cold or heat.
There is weatherproofing technology in the roof to ensure the elements cannot have an impact of any kind. To make any future maintenance easy, ask your Premium Retailer to include self-cleaning or easy-clean glass.

Thinking about choosing a glass roof for your conservatory? To help you decide if a glass roof is right for you, we’ve answered some of our most commonly asked questions below. If you have any other questions, our Premium Retailers are on hand to advise your and will help you find the right roof for your extension.
Why should I choose a glass roof for my conservatory?
Selecting a glass roof for a conservatory has many upsides.
A glass roof will initiate a flooding of natural light into your conservatory space, making it feel more welcoming than it’s ever done. Therefore, enjoyment of conservatory living will rise and the need for less artificial light in the daytime can potentially translate into great energy savings.
From the inside, you will gain a truly captivating view of the garden around the design and above your eye line too as you gaze at the skies above, all whilst you’re kept perfectly sheltered from the weather.
Energy efficiency standards of glass roofs are vastly superior to standard roofing systems as their modern glazing incorporates advanced insulation technology. The internal temperature will be just right throughout the course of the year, helping you to limit energy usage.
The sophisticated look of a glass roof is one of its foremost attractions, instilling elegance into all types of conservatory structures. Note that alongside the enhanced light, enhanced energy efficiency, and enhanced beauty that glass roofs instigate when you are assessing each available roofing system.
How do you maintain a glass roof?
Servicing a glass roof will sustain its impressive appearance and keep it functioning effectively.
Some occasional, routine maintenance will suffice to ensure your glass roof remains in good working order and delivers all its advertised benefits.
From time to time, the glazed surface can accumulate bits of dirt, debris, and dust, hampering the transference of light inside and obscuring your view. When this occurs, wipe the glass clean with a combination of mild soap and water, using a soft sponge or cloth to do it so that you don’t accidentally scratch the glass. Rinse it thoroughly afterwards and then dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Carry out an inspection of the seals and gaskets to identify any visible signs of wear and tear as they need to be in sound condition to avoid leaks and preserve insulation.
If your conservatory is situated close to any trees, cut back the branches on them so that leaves and debris don’t find their way onto the roof and need clearing away.
You also don’t want leaves and debris clogging up the gutters and downpipes in case it causes water overflow or structural damage to the roof.
Which coloured glass roof is best for my extension?
Your individual taste and the atmosphere you wish to generate will be decisive factors in what coloured glass you choose.
We’ve put together a short summary of each available option:
Aqua – Our aqua tint is a popular choice with customers seeking a classic aesthetic and effectual solar control. It will invite natural light in whilst minimising heat transference and glare.
Neutral – A neutral tint is as understated as you would imagine and offers excellent versatility and solar control.
Bronze – Restrict glare and initiate a snug and welcoming ambience within your extension with a bronze-tinted glass roof.
Blue – The soft, delicate blue tint radiates a cool and refreshing appearance and manages to uplift the cloudiest of skies on those overcast occasions.
Clear – It doesn’t need much explaining to tell you what our clear glass looks like, other than to say it provides the most measured solar control.
Clearone – A very close relative of our clear glass, the blue-tinted clearone glass has the same solar control abilities and is just as sophisticated.
Elite – Featuring a cleverly subtle blue tint, the elite is an ideal selection for anyone wanting a sleek, contemporary solution.

Will a glass roof help keep my conservatory cooler in summer?
A contemporary glass roof will create a perfectly cool atmosphere in summer.
We’re constantly being approached by customers who are desperate for some method of cooling down their conservatory, and we advocate the purchasing of a glass roof.
Glass panels can be accounted for in a glass roof design, and they contain a solar-reflective coating to restrict heat transfer and UV radiation into the conservatory. This ushers in a more manageable indoor temperature.
The low-emissivity glass is designed to divert excess solar energy away whilst enabling visible light to pervade the space. In short, no overindulgence of heat, but a welcome rush of light.
Effective ventilation can be assimilated into the roof in the form of roof vents or roof windows for passive cooling and optimum temperature regulation.
Install blinds or alternate shading systems to gain full control over how much light and heat can permeate the conservatory.
Do you recommend adding roof blinds to my conservatory?
Roof blinds would be a practical addition to your conservatory.
Blinds will help you call the tune on the volume of light and heat that reaches your conservatory interior so that you’re overwhelmed by glare or burning temperatures. They will be invaluable in the summer months and just as indispensable over the winter, assisting in creating an environment you always feel comfortable in.
Additionally, roof blinds will also add style and help you retain privacy. When shopping for blinds, you will come across a multitude of blind types and colours in differing materials.
Your selected blinds will effortlessly complement the conservatory decor and should also advance the enjoyment you get out of the space.
Do I need planning permission for a replacement roof?
In most instances, planning permission isn’t required to replace a conservatory roof.
Any replacement roof needs to correspond to your current roof in terms of the material it’s constructed from and in its appearance. Any proposed changes to the height or design of the roof will likely need planning approval. A conversation with your local planning committee or any of the consultants working at your nearest Premium Retailer will help to clarify if the roof complies with regulations or not.
Non-compliance with the rules can throw up a world of problems and just isn’t worth the hassle. Stay within the regulations and your conservatory roof replacement will proceed without a hitch.
