Project Overview

Our client, Mr. and Mrs. Lickman, owned a beautiful home with a conservatory that had been added to the property several years ago. While the conservatory provided additional living space and brought in natural light, the polycarbonate roof made it uncomfortable during extreme temperatures, with excessive heat in the summer and cold drafts in the winter.

The Brief

Temperature Regulation
The existing polycarbonate roof allowed heat to penetrate during summer months and offered minimal insulation in the winter, resulting in discomfort for the occupants.

Energy Inefficiency
The inefficient thermal properties of the polycarbonate roof led to increased reliance on heating and cooling systems, resulting in high energy bills.

Aesthetics
The Lickmans desired a roof that would seamlessly blend with the architectural style of their home while enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the conservatory.

Installation

The installation process was meticulously planned and executed by our experienced team of professionals.

Key steps included:
1. Removal of the existing polycarbonate roof with minimal disruption to the property.

2. Preparation of the framework to accommodate the new solid roof system.

3. Installation of the insulated roof panels, ensuring a snug fit and effective sealing to prevent air leakage.

4. Integration of any additional features such as roof windows or skylights to optimise natural light and ventilation.

The Result

The replacement of the conservatory’s polycarbonate roof with a solid roof system resulted in transformative outcomes for Mr. and Mrs. Lickman:

Enhanced Comfort
The new solid roof provided consistent temperatures year-round, creating a comfortable living space that could be enjoyed regardless of the weather outside.

Energy Savings
By reducing the need for heating and cooling, the Lickmans have since experienced a noticeable decrease in their energy bills, leading to long-term cost savings.

Aesthetic Appeal
The customised solid roof seamlessly integrated with the existing architecture, enhancing the visual appeal of the conservatory and adding value to the property.

Conclusion

Through the thoughtful implementation of a solid roof replacement, we successfully addressed the challenges faced by our clients while delivering a solution that prioritised comfort, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. This case study demonstrates the transformative impact of upgrading from a traditional polycarbonate roof to a high-performance solid roof system, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for the homeowners.
