You need an orangery to be fully energy efficient throughout the year otherwise what’s the point of owning one? The roof attached to the design has an enormous part to play so far as supplying the structure with exceptional thermal insulation is concerned and a solid roof is a product that will provide this in abundance. We openly admit that some natural sunlight will disappear from an orangery as a consequence of a solid roof installation but this can be compensated for by including roof windows in the design. Accessorise it further by having downlighters and speakers integrated.
Owning a Warm Roof provides countless benefits…
Insulated - It’s no good having a pretty looking conservatory if for large parts of the year it sits virtually redundant either due to being too cold in winter or too hot in summer. You rightly expect to be able to revert to in any type of weather and you will be afforded this luxury when you have a Warm Roof fitted to it. It contains insulated plywood and a rigid insulation board, helping eliminate heat loss and boost energy efficiency.
Solid Look & Feel - The inside of your conservatory will never have felt as luxurious as it is when you have it equipped with a solid roof, even more so than a polycarbonate or glass roof. Yes, some natural light will be lost, but natural sunlight will still force its way through the windows and doors so there’s no chance of it feeling drab and lifeless. We’ve done every possible to ensure our lightweight roof covering shares many of the aesthetic characteristics of traditional slates and tiles by using intricate detail and replicating their look.
Simple Fit - Because a Warm Roof is prefabricated it makes for a quick and efficient installation process so you can realistically expect to start enjoying the new-found benefits of your home extension within just a few hours.

Choose between a timber or plasterboard internal finish...
The clean and minimalist appearance of a painted plasterboard internal finish for the Warm Roof appeals to a huge number of home extension owners, but there are other possibilities. For something that feels rich and warm we suggest a timber clad ceiling as it has a dark finish that really comes into its own during the winter months in particular. It has an almost ‘cabin-style’ feel and is hugely complementary to any roof windows or centre pivoting timber roof windows incorporated into the design.

Select centre pivot windows to accompany your Warm Roof...
Don’t be alarmed by any natural light lost as a result of fitting a Warm Roof as you can always draw it back into your structure by having one or more roof windows put into the overall design. The newly installed roof windows will give you the most remarkable views of the world above, something you will never fail to get enjoyment out of each time you sit and relax inside. They’re also invaluable during the summer months as you can utilise them for ventilation purposes to help keep the building cool and useable.

Our roof tiles share a similar durability to the real thing...
We offer two types of Warm Roof covering; lightweight tile and lightweight slate. You will be mightily impressed by just how alike out lightweight slate looks to natural slate, aided by the five colour options it’s provided in. You’ll also be pleased to know that each covering is also totally weather-proof too as well as aesthetically-pleasing.
Lightweight Tile - The lightweight tile we provide for conservatories, orangeries, porches and many other styles of home extension can be fitted with the upmost ease and needs virtually no looking after. You also have plenty choice in terms of colour with options of charcoal, ebony, umber, red and green so finding a finish the suits won’t be a hard task.
Lightweight Slate - There’s no denying the aesthetic qualities of traditional slate but where it does fall down is in the amount of maintenance you have to input to keep it in good order as cracking, delamination and gradual wear and tear gets hold of it. Our lightweight slate shares the look of traditional slate and thankfully needs none of its time exhaustive upkeep. It even features the plateauxs’, curves and peaks of natural slate and comes in an incredible 20 colour options including brick red, pewter grey, stone black and plum.

A coloured tiled roof won’t go unnoticed...
Our lightweight tiles come finished in five different colour variations so that you can locate a solid roof that complements the roof tiles that sit on top of your home. They may be called ‘lightweight’ but you will be pleasantly surprised by just how durable they are, just as you’d expect of a stone-coated steel.

Frames can be fully sculptured in a traditional or contemporary style…
After analysing the various window and door systems available you will notice that some frames are more suited to some orangery designs more than others. It’s the contours and dimensions that make all the difference, something you will instantly notice when admiring them from afar.

UPVC is low maintenance, long lasting and very affordable...
The level of energy efficiency provided by a UPVC frame is one of the key reasons why so homeowners select it as their preferred building material. It also has all the ingredients needs to prevent heat loss and draughts and because it’s maintenance-free it does away with any need for constant cleaning or repair. The contours you see in the frame have been created by specially assimilating them into the profile.

Aluminium is all about sleek sightlines and maximum glass areas...
Aluminium-built orangeries have really taken off in the past few years as people have latched onto how strong and durable aluminium home improvements are. Another of its selling points is its ability to be moulded into an extremely slim profile, enabling a large expanse of glass to be integrated into the frames, leading to a more readily transportation of natural sunlight into the structure. It can also be applied with both a powder-coated finish and sublimated woodgrain effect.

You could be forgiven for mistaking Heritage for timber...
If you want an orangery that will forever remain timeless in its aesthetic appeal then you need to accustom yourself to our Heritage range, a window collection that’s heavily influenced by the original 19th century sash timber design. For an added ageing feel you can even include traditional hardware such as butt hinges, monkey tail handles and peg stays.

Patio door is a choice to those who find themselves short on space...
You will know in your mind exactly what will need to be accommodated inside the orangery prior to its installation. If you want to ensure that a generous floor space is maintained at all times then a sliding patio door may be to your advantage as it will make the structure seemingly feel larger than it is actually is. The natural sunlight that passes through it will also create an air of capaciousness.

Add a little French finesse to your orangery by having French Doors...
A conventional door only offers half the benefits of a French Door as it contains a double opening, drawing in two-times the amount of natural sunlight and ventilation when opened and closed. They’re particularly good at marrying together a home extension with a patio or decked area for those who like to spend their time outside when the weather’s set fair.
