High Performance

Conservatory roof technology has come a long way in recent years. Advances in glass technology mean that glass is much more thermally efficient, reducing sun glare in the summer and retaining heat in the winter. Replacing your roof with high performance glass allows a plentiful supply of natural light to come into your home while still keeping your room comfortable all year round and reducing heating bills.

Your replacement glass roof can be customised by adding elements from a range of design and specification options both internally and externally.

Benefits Of Glass Roofs

Insulated internal pelmet The internal pelmet, in any width between 300mm and 1200mm deep, means you can enjoy the light of a conservatory, the look of an orangery and the solid feel of an extension, all in one great value option. Not only will you gain added insulation, you’ll also add ambience, with space for downlights, spotlights and speakers.

Glass specifications, all our roof glass is self cleaning, specially designed to remain cleaner for longer than conventional glass. The transparent coating on the glass harnesses the power of ultra-violet rays from the sun and rain (or water) to break down dirt and grime then wash it clean away.  All our glass is toughened, double glazed safety glass: 4mm glass - 16 mm Argon filled cavity – 4 mm glass, with warm edge spacer as standard. It is manufactured in specialist roof glass factories and guaranteed for 10 years.
