Replacement Glass Roofs

The addition of a new glass roof will help you regain your conservatory.

A literal flooding of natural light is what occurs inside conservatories with glass roof coverings, and it creates the most brilliantly bright and inviting atmosphere, the perfect ambience for conservatory living. You can hold back on relying on artificial light as much as you would with other alternatives.

The transparency of the glazing also nourishes a healthy connection between you and the external environment, allowing you to gaze deep into the lofty skies and embrace whatever garden view there is around you.

A restoration of thermal efficiency will be one of the main upshots of upgrading to a glass roof, built so that it embodies advanced insulation technology. Year-round conservatory comfort will be all yours again with the extra benefit of cheapened heating costs as the roof will do the hard work of warming it.

Glass roofs have an enticing aesthetic and that’s as big of a draw as anything else for some, who recognise how it will heighten the elegance of their extension.

To summarise, a glass roof fosters natural light transference, makes you feel more strongly connected to nature, cultivates improved energy efficiency, and instils charm into conservatories.

Some irregular maintenance will suffice to retain your glass roof’s appearance and functionality.

It will come as some relief to you to discover that roof maintenance is easy work and if you look after the glass roof well, you’ll prolong the benefits of it.

Inevitably, the glazed surface will from time to time become cloaked in some dirt, debris and dust, hindering your view and blocking some light transfer. A simple mixture of mild soap and water will work to clean it away, preferably using a soft sponge or cloth so that you don’t accidentally scratch the glass. Give it a good rinse and dry the solution with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Monitor the seals and gaskets regularly as you don’t want them to develop any wear and tear. Kept in good condition, they will stop any water leaks occurring and uphold insulation.

Any trees in close proximity to the conservatory need to be kept well-trimmed so that leaves and debris from them don’t collect on the roof and necessitate recurrent cleaning.

Gutters and downpipes should also be free of any leaves and debris or else they can cause water overflow and potential structural roof damage.

That will be decided on the sort of atmosphere you want the conservatory to have and what your individual leanings are.

We have broken down each of the available choices:

Aqua – The epitome of a classic and a supreme performer in the essential area of solar control, our aqua tint is a canny selection. It entices light whilst minimising heat and glare.

Neutral – A neutral tint is as understated as you’d imagine and ranks highly for versatility and solar control.

Bronze – Keep glare out with bronze-tinted glass and revel in the warming and welcoming atmosphere it initiates.

Blue – There’s a delicateness to our blue-tinted glass and you get rewarded with a cool and refreshing outlook that enriches the sky’s natural tones.

Clear – This gentle, neutral-tinted glass offers reliable solar control, come what may, and is renowned for ushering in bright living conditions.

Clearone – The parallels between our subtle, blue-tinted clearone glass and our clear glass rest in their solar control benefits.

Elite – A blue-tinted effect is also present in elite glass, ideal if you desire glazing that’s contemporary and elegant in looks.

Satin Privacy – Got worries over privacy at home? Satin privacy glass has an opaque finish, but it doesn’t stop light filtering in.

It’s a very personal choice as to which glass you select and it needs to be ruled by your style preferences, practical necessities, and the kind of ambience you want to establish. We suggest that you scrutinise them all closely and nominate a glass that most seamlessly suits your extension and home architecture. Discuss it with a Hazlemere advisor if you struggle to settle on a coloured glass.

Relentlessly dependable solar control is what our contemporary glass roofs deliver.

Your conservatory will be cool again in summer after a glass roof has taken the place of your old roof due to the pioneering glazing technology it includes.

The glass panels in the roof have solar-reflective coatings and with these coatings they can minimise the extent of heat and UV radiation that is able to invade the conservatory space. From this, indoor cosiness is assured.

Our use of low-emissivity (Low-E) glass results in the reflection of any unwanted solar energy and allows visible light to enter. To put it plainly, you get lots of natural light without any fear of excess heat gain.

Roof vents and roof windows can be inserted into the glass roof system to supplement its already impressive ventilation, and the impressive passive cooling nurtured by it incites infallible temperature control.

Invest in some blinds or shades to further steady the volume of sunlight and heat that finds its way into the conservatory design.

Roof blind coverings are a practical addition to conservatories.

You can have the same control as the roof over how much light and heat reaches your living space with the use of blinds. Draw them when glare becomes an issue, or you want to restrict the transfer of heat and coldness into the conservatory so that your enjoyment of it isn’t spoiled.

They’re also helpful for privacy and aesthetics as you neither want to feel like you’re being watched nor accused of selling your conservatory short in the style stakes. Blinds come in a host of styles and materials to suit various forms of internal decor.

We can’t tell you what blinds to buy as only you know your taste, but what we can definitely tell you about them is that they will elevate your fondness for conservatory living.
