Firstly, conservatories are still one of the UK’s most desirable home improvement projects because they bring extra space and lots of light into the home at an affordable cost.
However, most conservatories that were built in the 20 or 30 years were usually made with a polycarbonate or glass roof which aren’t particularly efficient and which are now reaching the end of their natural life.
Issues with polycarbonate or glass conservatories
So, what are the issues with polycarbonate or glass conservatories?
Put simply, this material was used for conservatories because it was either cheap or as it was all that available at the time. It did a fair job of keeping the wind and rain out but these materials had poor thermal and acoustic properties.
And since most polycarbonate and glass roofs are transparent they’re prone to glare and furniture/ floor bleaching making the room almost unusable on a daily basis.
They also offer poor energy efficiency, so the conservatory will be expensive to keep warm or cool – it’s the reason why many people with an old conservatory don’t tend to use them.
But what if there was a solution to easily and affordably replace a polycarbonate or glass conservatory roof sheets with a new material with amazing thermal and acoustic properties not to mention a striking, contemporary look.
