Which conservatory roof is best?

There are 4 main types of conservatory roof currently available on the British renovation market; polycarbonate, glass, slate tiles and solid tile roofing. Which one is best for you? Let’s explain!

Polycarbonate conservatory roof

Suits: Homeowners on a budget, who want a naturally lit conservatory.

Not suitable for: : Homeowners looking for decent insulation and soundproofing qualities.

Glass conservatory roof

Suits: Homeowners who want a crystal clear, naturally lit conservatory. Effective insulating & soundproofing qualities can be achieved by installing certain types of glass, e.g. double glazing.

Not suitable for: Homeowners with limited access, * as the roof can become difficult to clean, and homeowners who wish to avoid the glare & heat of the sun. *

Slate conservatory roof

Suits: Homeowners looking for hard-wearing, impressive insulating qualities that will provide year-round protection.

Not suitable for: Homeowners on a budget, unstable/flimsy conservatory structures (due to the weight of the tiles) and those who want a naturally lit conservatory.
