As a result of the current economic climate and the property market’s relative stagnation, a growing number of homeowners are preferring to remain in their current dwelling and make modifications like conservatory roof replacement, rather than downsizing or relocating entirely. It goes without saying that there are numerous home improvements that can be performed to increase the value of your property while also improving the beauty of your current home, and one of the most popular continues to be the addition of a Conservatory.
Which Type Of Conservatory Do You Desire
Conservatories come in a wide variety of styles, with the traditional Orangery (pillars and windows) gaining popularity. However, which one offers the best value for money and would prove beneficial if you ever decide to sell your home? This is not a straightforward question. Edwardian, Victorian, and Lean-to are just a few of the more prominent architectural types. To appeal to future homeowners, it is best if the design is not overly personalized.
What Type Of Roof System Do You Want
When it comes to conservatory roof replacement, the market offers a lot of possibilities. The first and most critical choice is between a glass or polycarbonate roof. Polycarbonate is less expensive, and all of the main manufacturers offer high-quality polycarbonate roofs that are both thermally efficient and aesthetically pleasing. In recent years, polycarbonate roofs have advanced significantly in terms of thermal performance and aesthetics. Additionally, polycarbonate comes in a range of hues (for example, opal on the inside and bronze on the outside), and the 35mm polycarbonate has gotten substantially more affordable in recent years. The most expensive option, a glass roof, is often self-cleaning and can be customized to your specifications in terms of color. While this is purely subjective, both roof types are extremely energy-efficient, ensuring that your conservatory does not triple your winter heating costs.
Materials
Conservatories come in two different materials: PVC-U and wood. Conservatories constructed with PVC-U are by far the most popular because of their low maintenance requirements, inexpensive cost, and a large variety of color possibilities (woodgrain option and sprayed). Standard white, rosewood, light oak, and grey are among the most popular colors, with grey growing in popularity as time passes.
The added elegance and quality that timber conservatories bring is something that homeowners seek when complementing the existing character of their property or when replacing an existing timber conservatory. The first drawback is that they are significantly more expensive than alternative solutions. Consider the potential increase in property value and whether or not timber makes financial sense (while also considering the amount of enjoyment you would derive from it!).
Aluminum conservatories are typically the best option if you have planning constraints (e.g. House of Townscape Merit) or other comparable rules; nevertheless, attention should be given when utilizing an aluminum roof (that is not coated with PVC or lumber) because it will over condense. Following the aforementioned considerations, there are a number of additional factors to consider, including electrical, plumbing, flooring, and underfloor heating. At No1 Home Improvements, they are rather proud of their conservatories with solid tiled roofs. Please contact them if you’re interested in one of their conservatories with a solid tiled roof.
