Benefits of a Tiled Conservatory Roof
Adding a new roof to your conservatory can make it feel like part of the home rather than an addition. A tiled conservatory roof will allow you to enjoy the benefits of a well-insulated space that is as cosy in winter as it is warm in summer. It will also provide you with a place to relax and enjoy the views on offer from your home garden or countryside.
The majority of modern conservatories are built with a glass or polycarbonate roof, but many people will still have an old one that is in need of replacing. Many of these conservatories have become unusable due to being unbearably hot in the summer and cold in the winter, a problem that can be easily fixed with the installation of a new solid roof.
A good roofing specialist will be able to carry out a free home visit to assess the structure of your existing conservatory before recommending the best solution. The main consideration here is whether or not the existing conservatory will be able to support the weight of a tiled roof. If it is not, the frame will need to be reinforced or rebuilt before a solid roof can be fitted. Once this is done a layer of insulation will be installed before the lightweight tiles can be placed on top.
This type of roof is a relatively modern development and the latest versions are very much like a conventional house roof, using lightweight materials that can be made to look almost exactly like traditional clay or slate tiles or shingles. They can be topped with a choice of skylights and/or roof windows to enable you to get the most out of your space in the sunnier months, or with a vaulted ceiling for those that want to make a real feature of their new space.
Another benefit of a tiled conservatory roof is the level of soundproofing that they can achieve, meaning that the noise from outside or the neighbours will struggle to reach your living space. This is an important factor if you live in a very busy area, as it will help you to maintain a relaxed and peaceful lifestyle within your conservatory.
A well-insulated tiled conservatory will be more energy efficient than its glass or polycarbonate counterpart, reducing the amount of heating that is needed to keep your conservatory at an even temperature. This will have a direct impact on your household bills and is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. It will also add a significant amount of value to your property should you choose to sell in the future, as prospective buyers will be attracted to this highly desirable feature. As an investment, you will definitely see your money back on a tiled conservatory roof in the long term.
