Insulating conservatory roof

[whall3y]

Any views on this mechanism of insulating conservatory roof? Have been looking at replacement roof but perhaps this may be more economical? What are the disadvantages?

It's all the rage.

There are slightly differing systems, some involve changing the roof sheets instead or in addition to under insulation. It depends on the loads and the existing roof and wall frame sections being able to take the additional loading.

Just having to look at it is a major disadvantage with that system.

I have a double glazed glass roof on my conservatory. I really can't see the point of having a conservatory if you're going to have a non-transparent roof.

I like sitting in there in the evenings looking at the stars while having a relaxing drink. Sure it gets a but chilly in there in the winter, but I have an Far Infrared Red (FIR) panel heater which I put on while I'm in there - Really effective and very economical on power.

Honestly, go for the Leka roof. Good solution, good company

"We batten the roof spars to leave a 25mm cavity then fit the super quilt insulation"

Snake-oil multifoil finds yet another use..

UPVC frames can support a fair load so I would not worry too much. All the systems require some reinforcement of the roof, normally some cls skinned up the roofing spars. Personally I would keep away from thermal blanket and go with foil backed insulation board between and under. Quite a few have been done and they look fine..will you get your money back in heating cost ?..personally I would just keep the door shut till march. If you have knocked through then get it done...

I notice that all your posts promote Leka; any affiliation?

You'll be investing in aerogel then, rather than multifoil..

I’ve just had a Guardian Roof installed on my conservatory. I am very pleased with it.

3 Connie's knocked down and rebuilt (as proper extensions) in the last 24 months with two more to be demolished this Summer.
Horrendous buildings (mine included).
Good riddance.

Time to sell my shares in cane furniture with flowery cushions then.
