Yes, the weight of our solid conservatory roofs is very similar to that of a traditional conservatory roof!  We find that 90% of the time window frames are suitable to carry the weight. The responsibility to ensure the window frames are suitable to carry our Tiled Conservatory Roof lies with our surveyor, who will be checking this as part of our initial survey.

No, the white or light coloured ceiling will reflect light inside the conservatory, maximising its brightness by allowing as much light to be bounced around the room as possible. Installation of the tiled roof and/or insulated ceiling system usually only results in minimal loss of light (around 11% for glass and around 5% for polycarbonate roofs).  Given all the benefits achieved from the insulated roof system most of our customers feel this to be an acceptable trade off.  Rooflights can also be added, reducing further any light loss.

Roof blinds are really used only to provide some shade, NOT to provide insulation. Our system vastly out performs them in keeping your conservatory warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and is the market leader, outperforming any other product currently available.
