As winter approaches and energy bills continue to rise, many homeowners are looking for ways to improve their home’s energy efficiency. If you have a conservatory, replacing your existing roof with a tiled conservatory roof can lead to significant energy savings.
At Dream Installations, we’ve helped countless homeowners transform their conservatories into cosy, energy-efficient spaces that can be enjoyed year-round.
What is a Tiled Conservatory Roof?
A tiled conservatory roof is a solid, insulated roofing system. It features lightweight tiles on the exterior and a fully insulated interior, providing superior thermal performance compared to standard conservatory roofs. Dream Installations offers these roofs with our conservatories, and we can install them on your existing extension.
How Tiled Roofs Improve Energy Efficiency
Superior Insulation
One of the most significant advantages of a tiled conservatory roof is its excellent insulation properties. Unlike older or polycarbonate roofs that allow heat to escape, a tiled roof creates a thermal barrier that keeps warm air inside during the winter months.
At Dream Installations, our tiled conservatory roofs achieve U-values as low as 0.18 W/m²K – some of the best thermal performance possible for a roof system. The improved insulation means your conservatory will stay warmer with less energy input from your heating system, resulting in lower energy bills.
Polycarbonate, old, or poorly fitted roofs are notorious for substantial heat loss. Up to 25% of a home’s heat can be lost through the roof. You’ll dramatically reduce heat loss by replacing your existing conservatory roof with a fully insulated tiled roof.
Temperature Regulation
In addition to keeping heat in during winter, tiled conservatory roofs also help regulate temperature year-round. The solid construction prevents your conservatory from overheating in summer, eliminating the common ‘greenhouse effect’ of overly warm extensions. This means you can comfortably use the space in all seasons without relying on any heating or cooling systems. Better temperature regulation can dramatically reduce condensation, helping to eradicate issues like mould and damp.
Increased Home Value
Beyond just energy savings, a tiled conservatory roof can increase the value of your home. It transforms the conservatory into a true extension of your living space that can be used comfortably year-round. This added usable square footage is attractive to potential buyers, and the added market value can offset some of the initial costs.
Improved Aesthetics
Our tiled roofs come in a range of colours and styles to complement your home’s exterior. Options like Antique Red, Burnt Umber, and Charcoal allow you to create a seamless look between your conservatory and your home’s roof. We enjoy working closely with our customers on design to improve the style of your home.
Reduced Noise
The solid construction of a tiled roof provides much better sound insulation than glass or polycarbonate. This can reduce noise pollution from busy streets or cities, as well as the sound of heavy rain or hail, making sure your conservatory is peaceful and quiet.
Is a Tiled Roof Right for Your Conservatory?
While tiled conservatory roofs offer numerous benefits, it’s important to check that they are the correct type of roof for your conservatory or conservatory roof replacement. Here are some factors to consider:
Light Levels
A solid roof will not provide the same amount of natural light compared to a glass roof. However, roof windows, glazed panels, or a lantern roof can be incorporated to maintain brightness. We can help you find the right balance of insulation and light for your space.
Existing Structure
Your current conservatory must be able to support the weight of a tiled roof. Our experienced team will assess your conservatory’s structure to ensure it’s suitable for a roof replacement. Our tiled roofs are extremely lightweight and can fit onto most existing conservatories.
Planning Permission
Our tiled roof systems meet all planning permission and regulatory approval requirements, ensuring your new roof is structurally sound and compliant with local regulations. In most cases, replacing a conservatory roof doesn’t require planning permission. However, we suggest checking with your local council as some exceptions exist, particularly for listed buildings or homes in conservation areas. We can help you with any necessary permissions.
