Why Should You Be Wary Of Conservatory Insulation?

There are many risks associated with this method of improving the thermal efficiency and the insulation of your conservatory.

1. Drilling

In a conservatory, you have glazing bars, which, as the name suggests, hold the glazing in place within the roof. We use Ultraframe conservatory roofs, which, in their design, provide rigidity, assist with ventilation, and drain water.

If a company drills into these bars, their functionality can be compromised. This means you lose the vital stability and structural support that the conservatory glazing bars provide.

2. Adding Timber Bars To The Glazing Bars

The next stage is adding timber bars to the glazing bars. Our conservatories are structurally designed without other components added, which can hinder their performance. Our conservatory replacement roofs are built to withstand wind, rain, and snowfall. By adding timber to the structure of your conservatory, you are altering the calculations that have been made to keep your conservatory roof strong and weatherproof.

3. Thermal Barriers & uPVC Cladding

After adding timber bars, a thermal quilt and uPVC cladding are added to the structure. Again, this makes a big contribution to the overall performance and structural identity of your conservatory. This stage also hinders the ventilation within your conservatory. It is natural for heat to build up in the summer months, and having these layers added to your conservatory means hot air can not escape from your home. This can lead to swelling or warping of the glazing bars, which will damage the structure of your conservatory roof.

4. Natural Light

Adding these layers to your conservatory roofs means that the amount of natural light is limited. This can lead to you having a darker and warmer room as a result of conservatory insulation. This is a very important factor to consider when you are deciding whether conservatory insulation is right for you or not. This is in contrast to our replacement conservatory roofs, which can be installed with the addition of Velux windows, allowing natural light to flood your home.

5. Fire Safety

The addition of these materials, especially timber, can help to increase the risk of fire within your property. The original conservatory roof has gone through rigid testing for fire compliance and monitoring. Still, when additional substances are added to a structure, there is no doubt this will affect the results of testing.

Keep your home and family safe with our replacement conservatory roofs supplied by the market leading Ultraframe.

6. Your Guarantee

When you adapt the structure of your roof with conservatory insulation, you also affect your guarantee. As other components have been added to the original structure, your warranty becomes invalid.
