Getting the Right Roofing for Your Conservatory

If you want to have a lean to conservatory, you really have to be cautious about the kind of roofing that would be used and how it would be installed. Constructing one can actually be tricky if not done by experienced builders.

Setting that aside, there are also factors that you have to look into when deciding for the kind of roofing that you should get.

1. Trees

If there are trees around your conservatory, that can’t be cut down, expect that you would get a huge deposit of dried leaves weekly, especially in autumn. It’s also a given to see small branches and twigs from time to time when the day is windy.

Go for sturdy roofing material that isn’t prone to rusting and breaking.

2. Sunlight

Is there no chance that you can move to a shady part in around your house? If your conservatory is highly exposed to the sun, most of the day, then going for glass roofing would mean you have to have it tinted.

You can choose tiled roofing instead if sunlight is really unbearable.

3. Indoor plants

But if you are planning to have plants inside your conservatory, and have it function like a green house, then glass roofing would be best. Make sure enough sunlight passes through the glass so as not to compromise your plants.

4. Other functions

Consider other functions that you want to have for your conservatory. If you are new to the area, take note of the changing weather conditions. See whether your roofing material would be practical and comfortable enough for the functions your conservatory should have.

Talk to your builders and tell them what you want and need. Make sure you work with those who have already earned credibility in your area. If you are new, check for online reviews, or even have a little chit chat with people in the park. It’s always best to get the best people work on your DIY conservatory.
