Regulations.
Converting a conservatory to a Sunroom is effectively the creation of an extension, so a building warrant is always required. Simply cladding over your existing roof does not comply with any current regulations. We will organise and carry out the whole application process including the building warrant and the Structural Engineers Report, removing the stress from your upgrade.
To comply with Scottish Building Regulations, all conservatory converted roofs and extensions should be thermally insulated to a maximum U-value of 0.18 W/m2k.
Polycarbonate.
Some conservatory roofs have such a low pitch it is not possible to fit a glass or solid roof. Therefore we have a range of high performance polycarbonate options.
Polycarbonate roofs come in three tints; clear, bronze and opal. You also have the option to include HeatGuardTM which reduces solar gain by over half, compared to clear material. This also minimises glare and reduces yellowing on the uPVC.
