Why Choose Conservatory Roof Tiles?

Adding a solid tiled roof to your conservatory will transform it into a room that resembles an extension of the house. You can choose from a number of different tiling options including ExtraLight and Tapco slate, both of which are available in a range of colours to match your property.

Lightweight

When you’re looking to replace your conservatory roof sheets, it’s important to choose lightweight tiles. Heavy tiles add too much weight and can cause condensation, which can rot the timber framing. This can lead to damp patches, leaks and the need for major repairs.

Lightweight conservatory roof tiles are also easier to manoeuvre when laying them and take less time to install. They’re often cheaper than heavier slates or metal shingles. They’re also environmentally friendly as they require fewer Co2 -producing van trips to transport them.

Tiled conservatory roofs are thermally insulated, which means they’ll keep your conservatory warm in winter and cool in summer. This will help you get more use out of your conservatory and can even add value to your home if you ever decide to sell.

Versatile

Adding a solid tile roof to an existing conservatory can transform it into an all-year round living space. It is also an energy efficient choice. The modern system is lightweight and can be painted to match the colour of your existing home. It can even accommodate ceiling features such as Velux roof windows or a skylight.

Glass or polycarbonate roofs are prone to letting heat escape which can lead to high energy bills. This is why many homeowners opt for a ‘warm roof’, which has the ability to control airflow around the conservatory to prevent heat loss.

This can be a more cost effective option than having the whole structure rebuilt and is suitable for lean-to, P-shaped and Victorian conservatories. It can even be used to add a new roof to an existing glazed sun room or porch.

Energy efficient

Many conservatories suffer from the Goldilocks problem of being too hot in summer and too cold in winter, as heat tends to escape through the walls and roof. A tiled conservatory will help you save money on heating bills by retaining the warmth in your home and making your space more energy efficient.

Tiled conservatory roofs are also low maintenance and easy to clean. Polycarbonate often shows up every bit of grime, but tiles hide dirt and stains. Using a soft sponge or gentle detergent is usually sufficient to keep your conservatory looking its best. In addition, tiles are anti-fungal. This helps to prevent the growth of mould and algae. This is a great benefit for those who are worried about their environmental footprint.

Low maintenance

The material used to make tiled conservatory roofs has been around for many years, and they’re a tried-and-true roofing solution. They are highly resistant to all weather conditions, which means your new conservatory will stay comfortable throughout the year.

Another benefit of tiles is that they are easier to clean than polycarbonate or glass, so you’ll find it much simpler to keep your conservatory looking its best. All you need is a bucket of soapy water and some brushes or a squeegee, and you’ll be able to get rid of any grime that has built up.

If you’re looking for a way to improve your conservatory without spending a fortune, a tiled ‘warm roof’ could be the perfect solution. It will help you save money on your energy bills and create a beautiful living space that looks just like the rest of your home.

Aesthetically pleasing

Unlike polycarbonate roofs which can look like a bolt-on, a conservatory with a tiled roof will give your home a stylish finish and enhance the overall appeal of your property. This makes it an ideal choice for homeowners that value aesthetics and want their conservatory to feel like a natural extension of the home.

It is also easier to achieve a higher level of privacy with a tiled conservatory roof than a polycarbonate roof. This makes it an excellent option for anyone with close neighbours or who wants to cut out external noise.

Due to their opaque nature, it is much harder for heat to transfuse through tiles compared to glass. This helps them to achieve amazing U-values, keeping your conservatory cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
