7 benefits of choosing a tiled conservatory roof

A tiled roof conservatory is a great way of adding a touch of class to your property without breaking the bank. Problems posed by conservatories with outdated glass or polycarbonate roofs, such as poor energy efficiency and bad acoustic insulation, can lead to your conservatory becoming unused and unloved. Tiled conservatory roofs vanquish these problems and offer great improvements in multiple other areas.

With current building regulations not requiring planning permission for conservatories with covered roofs, there’s never been a better time to upgrade to a tiled roof. Here are 7 key benefits of choosing a tiled conservatory roof:

1. Tiled roofs can offer better insulation

   A tiled roof can offer better insulation for your conservatory. The tiled material has a lower U-value, meaning heat transmits through it at a much lower rate. So all that rising heat in your home is going nowhere, while the heat from the sun is staying outdoors.

   This of course makes your conservatory more energy efficient and reduces your heating bills, but it also helps to create a space that is usable and high-performing all year round! With a tiled conservatory roof, there’s no more sweltering in the summer or freezing in the winter.

   

2. Tiled conservatory roofs provide reduced glare

   One of the greatest risks associated with outdated transparent conservatory roofs is harsh glare and strong rays from the sun piercing through the glass. Strong glares in small doses can be distracting, but extended exposure can be very damaging for your eyes.

   With a tiled conservatory roof, any risk of glare is eliminated. You can sit back and relax, sheltered from the sun on even the brightest of days.

3. Tiled roofs can provide reduced noise

   How many times have you been in a home with a conservatory and heard rain thundering down onto the roof? You can barely think above the noise, let alone relax. Luckily, tiled roofs insulate noise as well as they insulate heat.

   Leamore Windows offer conservatory tile roofs made from standard lightweight steel, authentic GRP sheet slate, and hardy composite materials, all of which absorb sound excellently. So now you can enjoy your upgraded conservatory in peace and quiet.

4. Tiled conservatory roofs have an attractive style

   Our Equinox tiled roofs offer the impression of a high-end extension. Coming in a range of classic styles and tones, our tiles can seamlessly blend in with your home’s existing character.

   Our colours include Antique Red, Burnt Umber, Charcoal, Ebony and much more! Whether you live in a modern property or an older, more traditional country home, a tiled roof is a fantastic way of adding a dash of style to your conservatory!

5. Tiled conservatory roofs can be lower maintenance

   With a badly installed glass roof, there is always the risk of leaks, as there are multiple frames and panels that can potentially faulter. In fact, on many glass-roofed conservatories, the rubber gasket deteriorates in just 10 years. Many polycarbonate roofs also stop being watertight after a decade. A leaking conservatory can lead to all sorts of problems, from ruined furniture, to spreading mould, to the complete collapse of the roof.

   Thankfully, a tiled conservatory roof can fend off the West Midlands rainfall incredibly effectively. Leamore tiled roofs are also finished off with plaster-board or tongue-and-groove interior to make them even more resistant to leaks. Tested for weatherproofing and watertight qualities, there’s far less that can go wrong with a tiled roof. As such, there’s far less regular need to carry out any repairs on it once it’s installed. You can just put your feet up!

6. Replacing the roof is less expensive than a new conservatory

   Of course, a tiled roof’s efficiency and resilience will make it less costly in the long run. Installing just a new roof is also far cheaper than installing a whole new glass-roofed conservatory that may need replacing again in 10 years’ time.

   If your conservatory isn’t performing up to standard, be sure to inquire about upgrading your roof material to high-performing tiles before splashing out unnecessarily on a completely new extension. A new roof will also take a lot less time to install than it would to create a brand new uPVC or aluminium structure. That means there’s far less hassle and far less interruption to your home life.

7. A tiled conservatory roof increases the value of your home

   If your conservatory is badly insulated or prone to leaking, then it can actually take value off your property. The higher performance of a tiled conservatory roof can make your conservatory a more viable living space, thereby increasing its market value. So, when the time comes for you to sell up, your conservatory will work in your favour rather than hold you back!
