Insulating a polycarbonate conservatory roof

Conservatories are a fantastic addition to a home and a cost-effective way to add a new room without the expense and disruption of a full extension.

But as conservatories are predominantly glass with a polycarbonate roof on top, they don’t offer the same benefits as a ‘proper’ room.

As mentioned above, they’re poor at regulating temperature. Without any ceiling insulation, warm air escapes in the winter, whilst the polycarbonate roof isn’t effective at blocking the sun’s rays in the summer. The result is many homeowners have conservatories they can’t use for much of the year!

And with many of us now working from home, or just looking for a little extra space in general, issues like rising energy bills, as well as distracting rain noise, are also key factors to take into account when considering whether to insulate your polycarbonate conservatory roof.
