Warmer In The Winter

• Your conservatory can be a very cold and damp place during winter because the roof panels have very little to no insulation. This means that all the heat inside the conservatory escapes through the roof. Because you don’t want to waste money trying to heat a room, only for that heat to escape, you end up not using your conservatory. Well not anymore, please read on…

• Our Eco Space UK insulated conservatory roofing solutions help you create a warmer conservatory that retains heat in the winter. The insulation inside of our roofing/panels helps to restrict the flow of heat through the roof, meaning that the warmth inside of the room stays put. This way, what was once a cold and unusable room is transformed into a warm, cosy and usable space.

• When considering how well our roofing solutions compare to other conservatory roof insulation options, you will see that insulation is typically rated using a measure called U-value. The U-value is a number given to different materials that describes how fast heat can move through the material - the lower the number, the better the material is at insulating. With this in mind, it's abundantly clear that our roofing solutions are much better at insulating than other options on the market!

• 4mm thick Polycarbonate conservatory roof material has a U-value of 3.8. 25mm thick polycarbonate conservatory roofing has a U-value of 1.4. Triple glazing has a U-value of 1.2. Solar glazing has a U-value of 1. Our insulated conservatory roof panels can have a U-value of just 0.30 and our lightweight insulated tile roofs as low as 0.18. That means our replacement conservatory roof solutions can insulate your conservatory up to 95% better than polycarbonate, 85% better than triple glazing and 82% better than Solar glazing.

• This means that conservatories with our insulated solutions will keep you warmer in winter than your old conservatory roof insulation. This is particularly important with the rising cost of utilities across the UK. A poorly insulated conservatory roof is literally leaking money all winter. Basic conservatory insulation installation can help but often times this is just a stopgap measure. A purpose-built replacement conservatory roof with built-in insulation functions far better in terms of U-value. In fact, it performs similarly to a normal insulated roof.

• Insulating your conservatory roof also helps protect against condensation, which is a common issue in winter. Warm, humid air from your home comes into contact with a cold, poorly insulated conservatory roof, which causes water droplets to form on the inside of the roof. These droplets can drip down onto paint, insulation, carpet, or other surfaces in the conservatory, causing problems with mould, damage to the conservatory structure, and bad smells.

  You could try running a dehumidifier to fix this issue, but it would need to be on nearly 24/7 to prevent the problem from continuing to happen. If your existing conservatory roof has this issue a better-insulated conservatory roof could be the perfect solution. With better conservatory insulation, you prevent condensation and stay warmer in winter.
