A conservatory is a popular home improvement project for many homeowners, with approximately one in three Scottish residences having one. Conservatories offer a versatile space that can be used for various purposes. Whether you want to create a cosy reading nook, a bright and airy dining area, or a relaxing lounge, a conservatory can provide the perfect solution. As the demand for home improvements continues to rise, the choice between glass and solid roofs for conservatories becomes crucial. The team at SRJ Sunrooms will explore the factors to consider when deciding between the two options.
Glass roofs have long been a popular choice for conservatories and for good reason. They offer expansive views and flood living spaces with natural light – creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. Glass roofs are particularly well suited for classic properties, as they enhance the traditional charm and elegance of your home’s architecture. They can also be customised to fit unique requirements, allowing our customers to create a truly bespoke space.
On the other hand, solid roofs, often consisting of external tiles, offer a different set of benefits. They provide privacy and a sense of seclusion, making them ideal for those who value their privacy or live in built up areas. Solid roofs also offer excellent insulation benefits, keeping your conservatory warm in the winter and regulated during warmer weather. They can be a great choice for modern homes, as they add strength and a contemporary style to the overall design.
When deciding between glass and solid conservatory roofs, there are several factors to consider.
Both roofing systems are a long term investment for your conservatory, as their expert design and durable materials can continue to perform for decades.
The recommended lowest pitch for a tiled roof is between 20° and 30°. Additionally, the position of the conservatory in relation to the sun can also influence the choice of roof. No matter the direction of your garden, glass and tiled roofing systems are an excellent choice. Thanks to the customisable glazing panels, you can control how much light enters your home with our tiled roofs or welcome the rising and setting sun with our glass roofs.
Solid tiled roofs provide a greater sense of privacy, while glass roofs can be fitted with tints to help balance light and shade, as well as blinds. If privacy is a priority, a solid roof may be the better choice.
Tiled conservatory roofs are known for their ability to reduce noise and keep rainfall disruption to a minimum. However, the advanced glazing used within our glass conservatory roofs provides exceptional noise reduction.
Both glass and tiled conservatory roofs are extremely energy efficient and provide excellent U values and energy ratings. Our conservatory roofs achieve unmatched performance by utilising high spec glazing, advanced materials, recognised certifications, and expert construction. As temperatures drop in the colder months, you may find that your conservatory needs to be heated. Yet, with a modern build, your new space will stay warmer for longer.
Ultimately, the choice between a glass and solid conservatory roof depends on personal preference, the style of the property and the intended use of the space. Both options have their own unique benefits and can enhance the appeal and lifestyle of your home.
