Many homeowners wanting to improve their property opt for adding a conservatory as this gives extra space for a reasonable amount of money. When considering the design of the conservatory it is important to think carefully about the roof as this choice can influence whether the conservatory can be used all year round rather than just at certain times of the year when it is not too cold or too hot.

The most common roof type to be used on a conservatory is polycarbonate sheeting as this is the cheapest option. Some conservatory roofs are made from glass which is better in terms of insulation but still an issue in the summer months when blinds will be needed to keep the room cool. A growing number of house owners are choosing to have a solid roof on their conservatory. One of the options is to use a composite tile as the roofing material. These roofs are very strong and weatherproof and are guaranteed for forty years making them an excellent worry-free solution. For those concerned with the environmental impact of using manmade products these tiles are commonly recyclable and made using environmentally friendly resources. The benefits of having a solid roof on a conservatory have been evident in the growing popularity of this design element.
