Solid roof conservatory vs. glass roof: unveiling the best choice for your Surrey home

Surrey homeowners have always appreciated the beauty and versatility that conservatories bring.

They bathe your home in natural light and create a wonderful connection to your garden.

But what if you could enjoy your conservatory year-round, regardless of the season’s whims?

Here at Sherborne Windows, we offer two fantastic options to achieve exactly that: solid roof conservatories and glass roof conservatories.

Choosing between a solid roof and a glass roof can feel overwhelming. Both offer distinct advantages, and the “best” choice depends on how you envision using your new space.

Let’s delve into the world of solid roof conservatories and glass roof conservatories to help you make an informed decision.

Solid roof conservatory: A year-round oasis

Imagine a light-filled space that feels as cosy as your living room, no matter the weather outside. A solid roof conservatory makes this dream a reality.

Unmatched thermal efficiency

Solid roof conservatories, unlike their glass counterparts, boast a tiled roof that provides exceptional thermal performance. These highly insulated tiles, certified by LABC/LABSS to comply with the latest building regulations, keep the heat in during winter and prevent the space from overheating in summer.

This translates to significant energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint – good news for both your wallet and the environment!

Design flexibility and peace of mind

Solid roof conservatories come in a variety of styles, from classic Victorian to contemporary lean-to designs. They can even be custom-built to perfectly complement your Surrey home.

This design flexibility allows you to transform your conservatory into a functional and beautiful extension of your living space.

Perhaps you dream of a tranquil reading nook bathed in soft, natural light filtering through strategically placed roof windows. Maybe you envision a playroom for the kids that feels safe and secure. Solid roof conservatories cater to all your needs, offering important security features for complete peace of mind.

Here are some additional benefits of solid roof conservatories from Sherborne Windows:

Over 200 frame colours: Personalise your conservatory with a frame colour that seamlessly blends with your home’s existing décor.
Outstanding thermal performance: Our solid roofs achieve U-values as low as 0.17 W/m2k, exceeding industry standards for exceptional thermal efficiency.
Built to last: With a 40-year warranty on slate tiles, you can be confident that your solid roof conservatory is an investment that will last for generations.

Glass roof conservatory: Bathing in natural light

Glass roof conservatories are a fantastic choice for homeowners who crave the feeling of being outdoors while staying comfortably inside.

Swapping out your old polycarbonate or glass roof for a modern glass roof replacement is an excellent way to breathe new life into your conservatory.

Our high-quality glass roofs are weathertight, eliminating draughts and heat loss that plague older conservatories. They also feature low-e glass, which keeps the conservatory cool in summer and warm in winter.

Here’s what makes Sherborne Windows’ glass roof conservatories a compelling choice:

Suitable for all styles: We can replace the roof on your existing Victorian, Gable, Edwardian, or bespoke conservatory, or incorporate a glass roof into your brand new build.
Durable and weatherproof: These roofs are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, giving you peace of mind for years to come. They come with a comprehensive 10-year guarantee as standard.
Year-round comfort: Low-e glass and thermally-efficient structural bars create a comfortable space you can enjoy throughout the year.

Finding the perfect match for your Surrey home

Ultimately, the best choice between a solid roof and a glass roof conservatory hinges on your desired outcome.

Here are some questions to consider:

Do you want a space you can use year-round, regardless of the season? If so, a solid roof conservatory might be the perfect solution.
Is maximising natural light a priority? Then a glass roof conservatory might be ideal.
How do you plan to use your conservatory? A solid roof offers excellent thermal efficiency, making it perfect for creating a functional living space. A glass roof allows you to feel connected to your garden while enjoying the comfort of being indoors.
