How much heat is lost through a conservatory roof?

Conservatories are desirable spaces for homeowners. They can provide the extra space you need while helping to increase your home’s value.

If you have an old existing conservatory, however, then chances are it’s not quite the space you were hoping for, and it is pretty much unusable in the winter months due to the cold.

Old and existing conservatories, particularly those with polycarbonate roofs, will be freezing in the winter due to a lack of heat and insulation. And if you are still using your conservatory in the winter then it will be costing a lot of money to heat it.

The biggest culprit for heat loss within a conservatory is the roof. Typically, around 80% of heat is lost through it due to inadequate roof insulation. Conservatories with a polycarbonate roof are cold in the winter and have poor thermal efficiency.

Replace your conservatory roof to stop the heat loss

Replacing your polycarbonate or glass conservatory roof with a solid roof replacement is a cost-effective way of enhancing your conservatory’s performance and helping retain heat without needing to install a brand-new conservatory, which will be very expensive.

Thanks to modern technology, conservatory roof replacements excel in terms of performance, and you will benefit from impressive levels of thermal efficiency, saving you money on your heating bills at a time when UK energy prices are, literally, through the roof. And not only will it keep the heat in during the winter, it will also keep the temperature cooler in the summer, meaning your conservatory will be able to be used all year round.

Which conservatory roof replacement should you choose?

Replacement conservatory roof systems have developed significantly due to modern manufacturing techniques and highly durable materials.

At SEH BAC, we have several options for replacement polycarbonate and glazed conservatory roofs that will keep the heat in and provide unparalleled energy efficiency levels.

Our glass conservatory roofs have an advanced glass with an invisible coating that retains warmth and absorbs the sun’s rays, providing U-values as low as 1.0 W/(m²K) and bathing your conservatory in natural light.

Solid conservatory roof replacements
