Glass Roof or Polycarbonate Roof?

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

It is really important to choose the right conservatory roof glazing material for your Victorian Conservatory. Here are a few tips about glass roofs and polycarbonate roofs, both of which can be used on our range of Victorian Conservatories.

Conservatory Roofs

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

Conservatory Glass Roof

Conservatory roofs can have double glazed sealed units of either toughened safety glass or laminate glass. A glass roof is a lot quieter during precipitation than polycarbonate roofing. For the best long term results, go for the highest thermal efficiency sealed units your budget allows for, plus it may be worth considering the benefits of Pilkington Activ Self Cleaning Glass.

Neutral, bronze, grey or blue anti-sun glass is also available to reduce glare and heat build up on conservatory roofs. Glazing features such as Georgian bars, arches, rectangles, sqaure and diamond leaded designs can be added to more complex conservatory roof designs.

Polycarbonate Roofing

A very cheap, lightweight, yet tough alternative to glass, polycarbonate roofing is durable and resistant to the effects of UV and solar heating. A polycarbonate roof is available in various thicknesses.
