Product Information

Polycarbonate roofing is a type of plastic that is commonly used in commercial and industrial settings. It is known for its durability, which makes it an ideal material for roofs. There’s a number of different materials to choose from when it comes to finding a conservatory roof, including:

For example, if the leak has been caused by a more serious issue, like glass panes are damaged or there are problems with the structural integrity of the conservatory, we would not recommend you deal with this on your own. If you need to replace glass panels or repair the actual structure, hire a professional to do it for you.

Having natural light as part of your conservatory may mean the room becomes hot and stuffy and there is also the risk of sunburn. Instead of paying for expensive blinds that shut the light out completely, anti-glare paint is a simple solution that allows you to enjoy the sunshine with none of the negatives. The position and direction of your conservatory may also affect the materials you use, for the roof in particular.

A conservatory is part of the existing home or building if it is open plan to the rest of the house, and will have to comply with full building regulations, particularly with regard to glazing and heat loss. The colour of the paint is almost always white - this gives a clean finish that will resemble a typical ceiling. Before you start cleaning the conservatory roof, you need to make sure you can do it safely. If a telescopic conservatory roof cleaner can reach across the entire area of the roof, you can clean from the safety of the ground. However, there may be hard-to-reach areas or stubborn algae that require a pressure washer to clean. This means you will need a stable ladder you’re comfortable working from.
