In today’s housing market, homeowners are always on the lookout for affordable and effective ways to upgrade their homes. And one of the most common spaces that people seek to improve is their conservatory.
While conservatories are a wonderful addition to any home, many of us find them unusable for large parts of the year. Whether it’s freezing cold in the winter or unbearably hot in the summer, these spaces often feel wasted. Thankfully, conservatory roof insulation has become an increasingly popular, long-term solution to this problem.
At Sagars, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners across the North of England transform their conservatories into spaces they can enjoy all year round.
However, we often encounter myths and misconceptions that can lead people to hesitate before insulating their conservatory roofs. In this article, we’ll debunk some of the most common myths about conservatory roof insulation, so you can make an informed decision about improving your conservatory space.
Common myths about conservatory roof insulation – debunked
Myth 1: “Insulating a conservatory roof will make the room too dark.”
This is one of the most frequent concerns we hear. Homeowners are worried that adding insulation to their conservatory roof will block out natural light, leaving the room dark and gloomy. Naturally, your room will let in less light if you cover polycarbonate or glass with our ceiling insulation. However, added skylights and a bright and fresh plaster or PVC ceiling finish massively minimise this issue!
Our insulation solutions don’t interfere with the amount of natural light entering the conservatory through the windows. Our EcoSlate365 system, for example, combines thermal insulation with high-performance, lightweight tiles to maintain a bright and welcoming atmosphere inside, without sacrificing energy efficiency. We can even replace or install new ceiling lights!
Myth 2: “Conservatory roof insulation will damage the structure.”
Another concern is that adding insulation could damage or weaken the conservatory’s existing structure. In reality, professional installation is perfectly safe and poses no risk to the integrity of your conservatory. In fact, properly installed insulation can help preserve the condition of your conservatory by preventing condensation, which can lead to mould and dampness.
At Sagars, we use lightweight yet highly durable materials specifically designed for conservatory roofs, meaning your conservatory will remain structurally sound while becoming more energy-efficient.
Myth 3: “Insulating a conservatory roof is too expensive.”
Some homeowners are under the impression that conservatory roof insulation is prohibitively expensive. While there is often an upfront cost, it’s important to consider the long-term savings you’ll gain. By reducing heat loss in the winter and keeping your conservatory cool in the summer, you’ll save on energy bills all year round. In fact, our customers tell us they can save more than 25% on their heating bills! Additionally, by transforming your conservatory into a comfortable living space, you’re effectively increasing the usable square footage of your home.
At Sagars, we want to help as many homeowners properly enjoy an insulated conservatory. That’s why we offer interest-free finance with payments starting from just £166.58 a month!
Myth 4: “You’ll need planning permission to insulate your conservatory roof.”
Many people mistakenly believe that insulating their conservatory roof requires planning permission. However, in most cases, this is not true. Conservatory roof insulation is generally considered a home improvement, and as long as you’re not making significant structural changes, planning permission isn’t usually needed.
At Sagars, we’re happy to offer advice on this and ensure that any work we carry out is fully compliant with building regulations, so you can rest assured that everything is done correctly.
Myth 5: “Insulation is only for winter – it won’t help in summer.”
While it’s true that insulation is fantastic for keeping warmth in during the winter, it’s equally beneficial during the summer months. Conservatory roof insulation helps regulate the temperature inside your conservatory, preventing it from overheating in the summer and making it a comfortable space all year round.
At Sagars, we know the value of making your conservatory an enjoyable living area, no matter the season. Our insulation solutions are designed to give you consistent comfort, turning your conservatory into a space you can use daily, no matter what the weather is like outside.
