Custom-Made Replacement Roofs
We at Vision Home Improvements know that no two homes are the same. That’s why we make our replacement conservatory roofs completely bespoke in shape & design, so they fit perfectly with your current structure. We make each glass conservatory roof to your exact specifications, whether you’re replacing an old polycarbonate roof or a worn-out glass unit.
An Extensive Selection Of Eye-Catching, Low-Maintenance Finishes
We can offer conservatories in multiple colours and give you free rein to either match your existing home aesthetic or create something a bit more unique. You can opt for an established favourite like white (perfect for Edwardian and Victorian style) or the more contemporary vibes of an Anthracite or slate grey.
Alternatively, you can give your new conservatory a welcoming and homey atmosphere with a distinctive wood-effect finish. Our Anteak, Rosewood, and Irish Oak conservatories resemble genuine timber but experience none of the associated issues, such as rot.
Add A Personal Touch With Your Preferred Roof
Think of conservatories and you’ll most likely think of a glass roof, but they’re not your only option. We have a wide selection of Ultraframe conservatory roofs, including lightweight tiled and solid roofs that will give your new living space a stunning finish. These roofs offer superior engineering with eye-catching aesthetics and deliver excellent performance as well.
Our conservatory roofs are particularly good at trapping household heat, thereby making it far easier to get a comfortable temperature. You won’t have to worry about keeping the central heating on during winter or spending a small fortune on the air conditioning during the summer. That goes for the glass roofs too; their innovative designs have dramatically improved their efficiency, so even if you opt for a more traditional look, your conservatory temperature won’t be at the mercy of our unpredictable British weather.
Benefits
Our conservatories are designed to be highly resilient and long-lasting, but require little ongoing care or maintenance to perform at their best. They also provide superior levels of insulation, helping you moderate the internal temperatures and get a comfortable living space without having to worry about energy bills.
Superior Thermal Efficiency: Our glass roofs are designed with top-notch glazing that can reach impressive U-values as low as 0.12. This cutting-edge technology not only minimizes heat loss during the winter months but also effectively blocks up to 83% of solar rays in the summer.
Self-Cleaning Glass: All of our glass roofs feature toughened, self-cleaning glass with argon-filled cavities for a low-maintenance, high-performance finish.
Weather Tested & Resilient: Our roofs are tailored to the weather conditions to your specific post codes, staying watertight even in winds up to 130mph, giving you complete peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a glass conservatory roof thermally efficient?
Absolutely! Modern glass technology has come a long way from the old single-pane systems. Our glass roofs can block up to 83% of the sun’s rays, helping to keep your space cool and comfortable. Plus, with high-performance glazing and insulated internal pelmets, they do a great job of trapping heat during the winter months. This means you can enjoy your conservatory all year round!
Will a glass roof make my conservatory too bright?
Glass roofs are crafted to let in plenty of natural light, but you’re in control of the ambiance. We offer a range of tinted glass options—like blue and neutral shades—that help cut down on glare while still keeping the space feeling bright and airy. This makes it an ideal spot for working on your laptop or enjoying a movie without straining your eyes.
What is the "Internal Pelmet" and do I need one?
The internal pelmet is an insulating border that goes around the inside edge of the roof. While it’s not absolutely necessary, we highly recommend it. It gives your space a cozy “real room” vibe, boosts thermal performance, and provides a great spot for recessed LED spotlights or even built-in speakers.
Are glass roofs noisy when it rains?
When you compare them to old polycarbonate roofs, high-performance glass is much quieter. The toughened, argon-filled double glazing acts as a natural sound barrier, significantly cutting down on the “drumming” noise from heavy rain and outside traffic.
How does the "Postcode Engineering" work?
Every glass roof we install is specifically engineered for your home’s location. Using NASA satellite data, our system calculates the exact wind and snow loads for your postcode. This ensures that your roof is reinforced exactly where it needs to be to handle the unpredictable British weather.
Do I need planning permission to replace my roof with glass?
In most cases, swapping out an existing conservatory roof for a glass system falls under “permitted development,” so you usually won’t need planning permission. However, our team will always take a close look at your specific project to make sure all building regulations are fully met.
