Mastering the Art of Insulating Conservatory Roofs
Is your conservatory too hot in summer and too cold in winter? You’re not alone. Many conservatories across the UK suffer from poor temperature control, making them unusable for much of the year. This can be a major disappointment for homeowners who spend their money on an outside living space they can only use when conditions are perfect.
At Amazing Glazing, we specialise in solving this common problem with our ThermaWrap conservatory insulation system.
The Conservatory Temperature Problem
Regarding temperature issues, the main issue with most conservatories is the roof. Older models, such as polycarbonate conservatory roofs, do a poor job of keeping temperatures comfortable. In summer, the greenhouse effect turns your conservatory into an oven. In winter, heat rises and escapes through the roof, making the space chilly and expensive to heat.
Since heat rises, the roof space is the most important part of the conservatory to address if you want better temperature control. This temperature problem means many homeowners can only use their conservatory for a few months each year, wasting what should be a valuable part of the home.
How ThermaWrap Works
ThermaWrap is our specially designed conservatory roof insulation system that tackles temperature problems. It’s a clever 7-layer system that’s just 30mm thick but packs a real punch when it comes to thermal efficiency.
The system uses aluminium foil that works as a high performing vapour control layer, keeping moisture at bay while reflecting heat. The core is made from polyester wadding (containing 70% recycled plastic bottles), which provides excellent insulation. The white opaque finish on the visible side of our insulation gives your conservatory ceiling a clean, bright look.
When professionally installed between your conservatory roof rafters, ThermaWrap is an efficient way to control temperature and provide better insulation without major building work. It’s a good way to improve your conservatory without the expense of a completely new roof.
The Benefits of ThermaWrap Insulation
Year-Round Comfort
With ThermaWrap, your conservatory stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The insulation reduces heat loss by up to 91% in cold weather and helps block the intense heat of summer sun. This means you can finally use this space all year round, whether for relaxing, dining, or as an extra living area.
Energy Savings
An insulated conservatory roof can significantly cut your heating bills. By stopping a lot of heat from escaping through the roof, you’ll need less energy to keep the space warm in colder months. Given rising energy costs, this practical investment can pay itself back over time.
Noise Reduction
An unexpected bonus of ThermaWrap is that it makes your conservatory a much quieter room. The insulation dampens the sound of rain and hail hitting the roof, creating a more peaceful environment even during heavy downpours.
Quick Installation
Unlike replacing your entire conservatory roof with a more efficient, solid conservatory roof, ThermaWrap installation is quick and causes minimal disruption. Our expert team can typically complete the full installation of this product within 1-2 days, meaning you can start enjoying the benefits almost immediately.
Maintains Natural Light
While some insulation products can make your conservatory dark, ThermaWrap’s white finish helps reflect natural light around the room, meaning you don’t have to choose between comfort and aesthetics.
