Changing your conservatory roof is a big decision to make for any homeowner.
Whether your existing conservatory is dated, leaky, cold, or just in need of a freshen up, there are plenty of different options to explore when selecting a replacement. So, how do you know which type of roof is best for you? This will depend on a variety of factors, including size, budget, and personal taste. Here at Halstead Glass we supply and fit a number of different styles of conservatory roof, and here you can find out a bit more about each to help you decide which is best for you.
LivinROOF
A combination of both solid and glass pales, a LivinROOF enables you to completely transform your conservatory by offering the thermal efficiency of a solid roof, combined with the bright feel of a glazed extension.
Offering a stylish and elegant aesthetic, LivinROOF are made of robust materials designed to handle the unpredictable UK weather. It is also capable of achieving U-values as low as 0.16, making it extremely thermally efficient.
LivingROOF can be crafted to suit any style and match any existing shape, including the following styles:
- Georgian
- Victorian
- P-Shape
- Lean-To
- T-Shape
- Gable
You can further customise your LivinROOF by deciding the number of glazed panels you want to include, allowing as much light into your living space as you desire. You can also opt to include spotlights, a chandelier, or speakers into your design to produce a completely bespoke and unique creation.

Glass roof
Looking to flood your conservatory with natural light? Incorporating glazing and glass panels is the perfect way to spruce up older conservatories with polycarbonate roofs and new conservatories alike.
A glazed roof allows an elegant and timeless appearance, making a great addition to traditional properties.
Creating a bright and fresh atmosphere that engulfs the room with natural light, that is sure to add value to any home.
You may be concerned that glass roofs compromise on security? The reality is quite the opposite – the thick glass units are created with the intention of being weatherproof, preventing leaks, and being more durable than typical polycarbonate roofs.
As a glazed roof is made of glass panels, we are able to customise the style and shape of your replacement roof. Made to measure your existing roof for the perfect fit and optimised thermal efficiency.
We also offer tinted solar control glass, providing a coating that will allow you to soak in the light without over heating on those particularly sunny days.
