The glazing material you choose for your conservatory is an important consideration in relation to ambient temperature and heat conservation. Glass or poly-carbonate can both be used for the roof and each offers heat and glare-reducing properties, and both are produced in a variety of tinted options.

Polycarbonate is now the most widely used roof glazing material, being strong, very light and easy to work with. It is produced in a range of finishes including: opal, bronze or clear.

A glass conservatory roof is often preferred and has the advantage of giving clearer vision and being quieter when it rains. Glass roofs and side frames should be toughened in order to meet stringent safety requirements in conservatory design.
