Glass Roof or Polycarbonate Roof?

Choose from our new Solar Controlled Glass Roofs or Polycarbonate Roof for your Edwardian Conservatories.

It is vitally important to choose the right conservatory roof glazing material for your Edwardian Conservatory. Here are some tips on glass roofs and polycarbonate roofs, both suited to our range of Edwardian Conservatories

Conservatory Roofs

Any conservatory roof should be glazed appropriately to ensure a comfortable living environment 365 days a year. Conservatory roofs can be fitted with a variety of technically advanced glazing materials, each with specific light and heat control benefits, affected by factors such as geographical location in the UK, cost, energy conservation and aspect.

Conservatory Glass Roof

Double glazed conservatory roofs have two panes of toughened safety glass or laminate glass. A glass roof is considerably quieter during precipitation than polycarbonate roofing. To achieve the best long term result, opt for the highest thermal efficiency unit your budget allows, plus consider the benefits of Pilkington Activ Self Cleaning Glass.

Bronze, grey, neutral or blue anti-sun glass is also available to reduce glare and heat build up on double glazed conservatory roofs. Glazing features such as Georgian bars, arches, rectangles and diamond or square leads can be added to more complex conservatory roof designs.

Polycarbonate Roofing

A much more economic, lightweight, yet tough alternative to glass, polycarbonate roofing is durable and resistant to the effects of UV and sunlight. A polycarbonate roof is available in a range of thicknesses.
