At Nu-Look Conservatory Roof Solutions we have been replacing polycarbonate and glass conservatory roofs with light weight solid insulated roofs for over 7 years, so how do we do it?
Below, you can see exactly how the insulated solid conservatory roof is constructed.
Firstly, we completely remove your old conservatory roof and build you a bespoke braced timber roof, this is built on site to ensure that the measurements are exact, as no two conservatories are the same. We then fit 3 layers of insulation. Actis multifoil insulation is installed between the membrane and the timber rafters, we then fit 50mm of Actis Hybris insulation between the rafters, this is then covered with 40mm insulated plasterboard with a vapour barrier, which is then skimmed to provide a smooth perfect finish, giving a U-value of 0.14.
As replacing your conservatory roof with a solid insulated roof falls under Building Regulations, please click here for more details, we provide a Building Regulation Certificate with all installations and a 10 year insurance backed guarantee.
Insulation
Benefits of Actis Insulation
- Triso-Super 10+ is the first product certified by BM Trada certification in accordance with BIP-001 test protocol. Thin and highly efficient.
- HYBRIS is an honeycomb insulation which ensures winter and summer thermal insulation, acoustic insulation and air tightness of buildings. Its high thermal performance is certified by LABC.
- Ideal for roofs with timber frame construction
- Effective in both Summer and Winter
- Actis Insulation retains heat during winter and reflects heat in summer preventing over-heating in warm spaces
- A proven performance developed from 30 years research
