Change conservatory roof to solid.

In the winter all the heat escapes through the roof. A solid tiled roof will eliminate all these issues making the room an all year round room. A conservatory with a glass or polycarbonate clear plastic roof can feel a lot like a greenhouse. This is because replacing a glass conservatory roof for a solid insulated conservatory roof is regarded as being a change of use as it results in an extension becoming permanent rather than temporary.

The other benefit of a solid roof is that it looks more like an extension than a traditional conservatory. This is because every single roof is designed to the postcode of the location where it will be installed for total structural integrity as well as providing the best thermal performance and design options. Prior to this change in regulation the law stated that to be considered a conservatory 75 of the roof needed to be translucent in order for the building to be constructed without planning permission. However if you are re roofing an existing conservatory by installing a solid roof rather than a glass or translucent roof a building regulation application will be required.

Building regulatory approval must be obtained if you are planning to replace a transparent conservatory roof for a solid roof. A solid roof can give your conservatory a whole new lease of life and make a vast improvement to the external appearance of your home. It is not unheard of for people to end up using their conservatory purely as a storage room because the extremes of temperatures make it. Benefits of a solid roof conservatory more comfortable all year round.
