Keep the light. Lose the greenhouse.

A modern unit reflects most of the sun's heat back out while letting the light through. That is the whole trick: the room stays bright and stops behaving like a greenhouse in July.

Self cleaning coatings mean the rain does most of the work, so you are not up a ladder every spring with a bucket.

It comes in blue, neutral or aqua tints, so the glass can be matched to the house rather than fought with.

It is far better insulated than the single or early double glazed units that went in twenty years ago, so the room holds its heat in winter as well.

When the light is the reason you built the conservatory in the first place, and you want to keep all of it.

When the glazing has gone cloudy, blown, or started letting water in, but the frames and the bars underneath are sound.

When you want the job done quickly. Glass is usually the shortest time on site of any roof we fit.

If a solid roof would suit the room better, we will say so on the visit. The visit costs you nothing either way.
