If you’re looking to get more from your conservatory or orangery, replacing your existing roof with a solid one can offer a real transformation. At Windows Are Us, we’ve seen first-hand how solid roofs for conservatories can turn underused spaces into vibrant, comfortable, and stylish parts of your home—spaces that truly work for modern living. Whether you’re focused on energy efficiency, aesthetics, or long-term value, this solution ticks all the boxes and more.
Improved energy efficiency
One of the most compelling reasons homeowners choose a solid roof conservatory is the boost in energy efficiency. Traditional glass or polycarbonate roofs often struggle with insulation, leading to a room that’s either swelteringly hot in the summer or freezing cold in the winter. Solid roofs eliminate that inconsistency.
Thanks to high-performance insulation—some designs offering up to 155mm of integrated insulation—solid roofs help retain warmth in winter and deflect heat during the summer months. According to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), solid roofing can reduce energy bills by up to 25%. That means lower costs and a more sustainable home—both of which contribute to smarter, energy-efficient home improvements.
At Windows Are Us, our Icotherm roof system also includes breathable membranes and ventilated timber pods, ensuring your conservatory not only stays comfortable but avoids issues like condensation build-up over time.
Enhanced aesthetics and design
A new solid roof doesn’t just perform better—it looks fantastic too. Whether you own a period property or a newer build, solid roofs offer a clean, contemporary finish that complements all kinds of homes. You can choose from a variety of tile colours and finishes to perfectly match your home’s style, making your conservatory a seamless extension of your living space.
Better yet, this isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Our bespoke designs give you the freedom to customise everything—from lighting layouts to guttering options—making your conservatory a truly personalised space. Whether you want a traditional feel or a bold, modern conservatory style, we’ll tailor it to you. After all, we always start with what you want.
Increased property value
Adding a solid roof to your conservatory isn’t just an upgrade for your own comfort—it’s a smart investment too. A well-executed conservatory enhancement, like installing a solid roof, can increase your property’s value by 5 to 15% according to Nationwide. That’s because it effectively transforms a seasonal room into a fully functional living space you can use all year round.
Whether it becomes an extended kitchen, a relaxing lounge, or a vibrant family room, this type of tailored home renovation has clear appeal to future buyers. It’s not just about square footage—it’s about the quality and usability of that space.
Improved noise insulation
If you’ve ever tried to relax in your glass-roofed conservatory during a rainstorm, you’ll know how loud it can get. With a solid roof system, that problem disappears. The thick insulation and solid tile construction deliver excellent noise reduction features, ensuring a more serene environment whether you’re watching TV, reading a book, or simply enjoying some quiet time.
This makes solid roofs particularly beneficial for homes located near main roads, schools, or urban centres. Peace and quiet shouldn’t be a luxury, and with the right roof in place, it no longer is.
Reduced maintenance needs
Anyone with a glass or polycarbonate roof knows the upkeep that comes with it—regular cleaning, risks of leaks, and the gradual wear and tear from weather exposure. Solid roofs eliminate that hassle. Built from durable roofing solutions like engineered timber and composite tiles, these roofs are designed to stand the test of time with minimal upkeep required.
With no more cloudy panels or sun-faded spots to worry about, your conservatory becomes a truly maintenance-free roofing solution. And for added peace of mind, at Windows Are Us, we back every installation with a 10-year insurance backed guarantee.
