How Do I Make My Conservatory Into a Usable Room?
Many homeowners find that whilst they have a conservatory in their home, there are many days when it is unusable, as it can be too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter.
Noise can also be a consideration as the sound of rain falling heavily onto a glass roof can be quite loud, making it difficult to hear each other during a conversation.
At Sherborne, we can help to modernise your conservatory, by removing your existing roof and constructing a new roof. This will look contemporary and will also be extremely energy efficient. Replacing the old roof with a new one will help to turn your conservatory into a usable room and help to keep heating costs down.
Find the Perfect Conservatory for your Home
Can I replace the roof on my conservatory with a tiled roof?
Yes, you can. Replacing an old glass conservatory roof with lightweight or slate tiles can make the room feel like a contemporary extension to your home, creating a room to relax in at any time of the year. Heat will be retained to keep your room warm, with low U-values of just 0.17 W/m²K being achieved.
A tiled roof will offer improved soundproofing and reduce the sound of rain and hail stones. We offer a choice of colours for your roof tile, so they can easily match or contrast with the existing tiles on the roof of your home.
Suppose you are concerned about losing some of the natural light when replacing an existing glass or polycarbonate roof. In that case, we can install one or more roof windows, which can open outwards to allow plenty of ventilation into your conservatory.
Unless your property is a listed building or is located in a conservation area, putting tiles onto an existing conservatory does not usually require planning permission. If planning permission is necessary, we will be happy to help guide you through the planning process.
Modern Glass Roof for your conservatory
Conservatories with a glass roof are perfect for allowing plenty of natural daylight into your home. We can replace the existing glass of your conservatory roof with modern glazing filled with argon gas, which acts as an excellent insulator to help keep heat inside the conservatory during cooler days and helps prevent a room from over-heating on a warm, sunny day.
What are the benefits of replacing your existing conservatory roof?
A new thermally efficient tiled roof, solid roof, or glass roof, will ensure that your conservatory remains at a comfortable temperature, allowing you to use the space all year round.
Modernising your conservatory will improve the overall security and energy efficiency of your home and can add value to your property.
Once you have replaced the roof of your existing conservatory, there are ways you can modernise your conservatory further, such as:
- You could consider replacing the doors with secure, energy efficient Bifold doors, French doors or Sliding doors
- Consider replacing the existing windows with modern, thermally efficient alternatives to help save you money on your energy bills
- Replace a tiled floor with warmer wooden flooring or carpet
- Invest in a pair of curtains, blinds, or a shade sail for both privacy and shade from the sun on bright summer days
- Include lamps to create a cosy atmosphere
