How long will the process take?
The process is very straightforward and normally proceeds as follows:
Day 1 - the installation
Day 2 - plastering the surface
Day 3 - the drying period
Day 4 - painting the surface

What about building regulations?
Not a problem as conservatories are exempt from building regulation approval.

What about condensation?
We ensure there will be no condensation in 2 ways: retaining a gap above the insulation and installing hidden vents, thus ensuring cross ventilation, so you don't need to worry about any condensation.

I'm worried about the conservatory being darker. Is this an issue?
No. Our tests show that on average there is a minimal 5% light loss. Much of the light that enters a conservatory enters through the door and windows and our customers find this light is reflected off the new ceiling surface and creates less glare light.

I have a light in the conservatory ceiling. Will this be removed?
No, we will install the new ceiling around any fixtures. There will be no damage to your conservatory roof. You can even remove the system in the future if you so choose. All you would need to do is replace the mouldings on the roof spars which is a very simple job.

What about the extra weight on the roof structure?
All roofs are manufactured to the highest standards and tested to a very high level. They have huge weight tolerances and are exhaustively tested for wind, snow and human weight load.

Will it change the look of my conservatory?
From the outside, your conservatory will look the same. Internally, your conservatory will have a solid, vaulted ceiling, constructed of plasterboard with the insulation lining behind. The angle of slope of the new ceiling will mimic the slope of your conservatory. There will be no flat ceiling. The finished ceiling is only around 2 inches lower than the original conservatory. And our painters will finish the job to their usual high standard. There will be the added advantage that you won't be able to see all the moss, bird mess and algae that builds up on the outside of your conservatory roof! And, of course, there will be the noise reduction impact - no more shouting to be heard over the rain!

Will it really be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer?
Absolutely, yes. For example, your insulation values (heat conductance U-values) will drop from around 1.62W/m2K down to around 0.41W/m2K. What does this mean? Well, building regulations require a new traditional roof to reach 0.35W/m2K.

A friend has bought roof blinds? Is this system better than that?
Our system is a market leader and outperforms any product available. Here are some figures: a typical untreated conservatory roof (polycarbonate) has a U-value of 1.62W/m2K. Roof blinds will reduce this on average to around 1.43W/m2K. Metal inserts will result in a figure of around 1.15W/m2K. Our system reduces this figure to around 0.41W/m2K. We think these figures speak for themselves, and will truly turn your conservatory into an extra living space and not just an add on to your house.
