Frequently Asked questions

REDISCOVER YOUR CONSERVATORY

Below are some commonly asked questions, however we want to give every customer the opportunity to find out how Thermotec can truly transform their conservatory, so if you have any questions of your own or would like to arrange a free quotation then please call us on 0800 488 0579.

We carefully remove your old roof panels, give the existing roof structure a good clean down, using specialist products, before fitting the new insulated Thermotec panels. The whole job should be completed in just 1-day and your conservatory will literally be transformed overnight.

Sunlight radiating through a transparent conservatory roof emits harmful UV rays which can fade furniture, ornaments and flooring causing permanent damage not to mention often making it impossible to read or watch TV. Our none translucent, insulated conservatory roof panels help prevent the fading of contents as harmful rays will no longer be able to radiate through the roof and the room will become much more comfortable to use.

As Thermotec is a bespoke, precision product it can be made to fit any size or shape of existing roof structure; we meticulously survey your roof to ensure each and every panel is a precise fit. We carefully hand-finish the panels before finally powder-coating them in a colour of your choice. Oak, anthracite or light grey are all popular choices and you can even select from a matte or gloss finish and introduce partial glazing if some natural roof light is a requirement.

No, not considering the life-long, use a home-owner will receive. Thermotec represents good value as it radically transforms a conservatory in both appearance and performance. There is no risk or modification required to an existing structure so there is no extra cost whatsoever.

Precision manufactured here in the UK all our panels are hand-finished and powder-coated to the highest standard so we’re confident they will serve you well for many years to come. Our panels come with a fully comprehensive 10-year guarantee but with life expectancy of over 40 years.

Thermotec panels are individually manufactured from strong, lightweight aluminium with a 75mm high-density foam insulated core making them 8 times more efficient than polycarbonate panels. The insulated panels retain the warmth, repel the cold and noise, and keep the conservatory comfortable all year round.

Polycarbonate and glass roofs do not offer good thermal insulation whereas Thermotec panels are energy efficient and will reduce heating costs. Thermotec will give you back a cosy room that can be used throughout the year – the days of an uninhabitable, cold or hot conservatory will soon be gone.

Yes, a Thermotec roof can be hybridised so it can be part solid panel and part high performance glass unit(s) or roof vent so our roof system is extremely versatile.
>Warm roofs take on average 7-days to install and can put existing frames/ foundations under unnecessary strain whereas Thermotec is designed to be fitted in just 1-day and works in conjunction with the existing structure. Warm roofs tend to be labour intensive so upgrading your roof with Thermotec is usually a more economic option and without the disturbance.
You should NOT require Planning Permission when upgrading your existing conservatory with Thermotec roof panels and Building Regulations should NOT be applicable. In the unlikely event your roof upgrade did require Planning Permission then we’re happy to assist there and if Building Regulations was a requirement then Thermotec is Building Control compliant.
