Roof Systems

As with the frames, we can supply and install any roof system on the market, however we normally use the 'Global' roof system.  To define the terminology, a roof system comprises a structural aluminium skeleton covered with uPVC (in a colour to match the frames), which can be fitted with either glass or polycarbonate units to complete the roof.

 

Global have an extremely comprehensive website with some really informative video clips, so rather than trying to write about it myself,  I have added a link here to their website, which is well worth a look.

 

24mm Pilkington 'Activ' or 'Blue Activ' Glass Panels

This clear or attractive blue glass designed by Pilkington combines dual action, self-cleaning products with solar control performance for a cooler internal environment.  It is a revolutionary glass perfect for use in conservatories.  It uses daylight and rainwater to breakdown and wash away organic dirt from exterior surfaces.  The unique blue colour allows plenty of light into the conservatory, keeps internal temperatures cool and looks great!

 

Polycarbonate Panels

The  'Heatguard' polycarbonate roof panels are made with a high-insulating polycarbonate and is available in a variety of thickness and colour, each one computer-tested for strength and durability.  The Opel Heatguard (25mm or 35mm) is our recommended option as anti-glare properties reduce the need for internal roof blinds, and with the Opel on the inside, light is reflected back into the conservatory at night.
