Conservatory cold in winter? Add a tiled roof and make it a room for all seasons

With winter taking hold and bringing a sharp fall in temperatures, many homeowners are still shutting off one of their favourite spaces and closing the doors to their conservatory for the forthcoming months.But that no longer needs to happen, and an increasing number of people are now taking advantage of an affordable way to turn their old conservatories into modern, energy-efficient spaces which are cosy and comfortable all year round.Ensuring they remain warm in winter and cool in summer, state-of-the-art lightweight aluminium roofs can be fitted on almost any conservatory.John Waugh, retail sales director at EYG, says the increasing popularity of tiled conservatory roofs is understandable, given they can bring a major space within a home back into use for large parts of the year.Whilst modern conservatories benefit from advanced roof systems which are much better in terms of providing a more constant level of warmth, many older conservatories suffer from quite large temperature fluctuations, said Mr Waugh.It is a real waste of valuable space if you have a conservatory but you have to close the doors on it for winter because it is too cold to sit in, or because it is letting heat out of your home.That’s why the tiled roofs are proving popular, as they can be retro fitted onto existing conservatories and they completely transform them.Stylish, plastered new vaulted ceilings give a real feeling of space, whilst people can also choose a lighting system of their preference, such as uplighters or spotlights, to create the desired level of ambiance.Many people also choose to incorporate roof lights into the design – a great way to bring more light into the living space, helping to make it as fresh and airy as possible.Mr Waugh added: A tiled roof gives homeowners a real chance to put a new stamp on their home, and many our customers tell us that it has transformed their conservatory and feels like a new extension to their property.Whether it’s to provide extra room to entertain family and friends, extend your kitchen or dining area, create a playroom or simply make somewhere to relax, you can do what you want with a space which can, for many, be wasted.EYG uses insulation systems which have been approved to meet the highest of standards, giving customers complete peace of mind in extreme weather conditions, and all EYG roof components also come with a 10-year guarantee, with the tiles themselves boasting a 60–year life expectancy.
