So Which Roof Should I Choose for Conservatory?

Glass Conservatory Roofs

Glass conservatory roofs are a popular choice, featuring argon gas-filled double-glazed units and a self-cleaning transparent membrane (available in blue, clear, or bronze tint).

Pros:

  • Maximizes natural light.
  • Offers expansive views.
  • Quickest to install.
  • Most cost-effective option.

Cons:

  • Less effective for soundproofing in heavy weather.
  • Can become very hot on sunny days and colder in winter (argon gas helps but doesn’t eliminate these effects as well as other roof options).

Pros:

  • Highly versatile, allowing creative design and material choices.
  • Maintains an outdoor feel while being functional and temperate.
  • Offers better thermal efficiency than fully glazed roofs.

Cons:

  • Potentially the most expensive, depending on materials.
