If your conservatory has slowly become a place you avoid, because it’s too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer, you’ve come to the right place. For many homeowners in Perthshire, what was once a bright, inviting space has ended up becoming a bit of a dumping ground.
You might be thinking the only option is to replace the whole conservatory, which can feel like a big (and expensive) job. In most cases, however, it’s actually the roof causing the problem.
Replacing your conservatory roof can completely transform how the space feels, turning it back into a space you’ll want to use again, all year round. At Cairnview Windows & Doors, we offer both solid roof and glass roof options so you can pick the style that works best for you.
Is Your Conservatory Letting Your Perthshire Home Down?
If you aren’t sure whether it’s time to replace your conservatory roof or not, here are a few signs to look out for:
- Cold and draughty in winter
- Too hot to sit in during the summer months
- Rain is loud on the roof
- Furniture fading from sunlight
- Leaks or sign of wear
- Rising energy bills
If any of these sound familiar, it might be time to start exploring your options.
Glass vs Solid Roof Conservatories: Whats The Difference?
When it comes to replacing your conservatory roof, there are two main options that our Perthshire customers love: glass and solid roofs.
Both are designed to improve comfort and performance, but they create slightly different spaces depending on how you want to use your conservatory.
What is a Solid Roof?
A solid roof is designed to make your conservatory feel more like a natural extension of your home.
Our Ultraframe solid roofs use a lightweight tiled or slate finish with high levels of insulation, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the year.
Benefits include:
- Improved energy efficiency
- A warmer, more consistent temperature
- Adds value to your home
- Low maintenance
- Durable and long-lasting
- 10-year guarantee
You can also customise the look with different colours, add external lighting options and integrated panels to bring in natural light where needed.
What is a Glass Roof?
If you love the light and openness of your conservatory or you have stunning Perthshire views to take advantage of, a modern glass roof is a great option. Our SmartGlass conservatory roofs use advanced glazing technology to keep the space comfortable while still letting in plenty of natural light.
Benefits include:
- Far quieter than polycarbonate roofs
- UV Protection to reduce fading
- Self-cleaning glass
- Anti-glare & solar control
- Helps reduce your energy bills
You can also customise the finish of the glass with different tints and glazing options to suit your home.
How Much Do They Cost?
Every home is different, but as a guide, costs range from:
- Solid conservatory roofs start from £15,000
- SmartGlass roofs start from £10,000
The final cost will depend on the size of your conservatory and the customised options you choose, which is why we always recommend getting a personalised quote from us. We believe in clear, honest pricing, so you’ll always know exactly what to expect, with no hidden costs.
Choosing The Best Option For Your Perthshire Home
Ultimately, the best option for your home will depend on how you use your conservatory and what you want from the space.
Some homeowners prefer the light and openness of glass, while others want a room that feels warmer and more like part of the house with a solid roof.
Our team will always talk you through your options and give honest advice based on your home – no pressure or hard sell. We’ll explain everything clearly so you can make the decision that’s right for you.
