Have you got an old conservatory that no longer fills you with excitement and desire to want to spend time in it? “Yes” we hear you answer. Well, don’t worry – here’s our top ways to upgrade and modernise your existing conservatory. And what’s even better is that according to Nationwide, adding a conservatory, or in fact modernising a conservatory can add up to 23% to the value of your property.
Bring the outside in with bifold doors
To bring the outside in, blur the lines between your home and garden, and ultimately give you a sense of openness which we know all our customers crave, consider adding bifold doors. Available in both aluminium and uPVC materials, there are 3 benefits of bifold doors – they are highly secure, energy-efficiency, durable and great at adding the ‘wow-factor’ to your home in Essex.
Utilising a concertina fold, bifold doors stack up on one side of the room, leaving you with more space and open views of your beautiful garden. Another advantage is that bifold doors are available in over 150+ RAL colours in both single and dual colour options, so you can match the exterior and interior of your home with ease.
Add some colour to your conservatory with indoor plants
As well as opting for bifold doors to bring the outside in and modernise your conservatory, you could also do this by adding more indoor plants to your conservatory.
Indoor plants not only look lovely, bringing a sense of greenery and tranquillity to your living space, but they’re also good for our health too. This is because indoor plants improve the air quality in your home by purifying the air and releasing more oxygen into the atmosphere. And when it comes to indoor plants, we know that a lot of our customers like to have a mixture – tall plants on the floor and trailing plants on their shelves – to create focal points and a sense of balance around the room.
Replace your conservatory roof
As well as replacing your conservatory windows and doors, think about replacing the roof of your conservatory with an energy-efficient alternative. When you start thinking about replacing your conservatory roof, you need to decide whether you want a glass or tiled roof. There are fantastic benefits to each and whichever you decide will transform your existing conservatory.
At Halstead Glass we offer three conservatory roof replacement options that are perfect for homes in Essex.
Guardian Warm Roof replacement
A precision-engineered and expertly designed roof that looks great. The Guardian Warm Roof is able to reach exceptional levels of thermal efficiency, making your conservatory functional all year round. Although it’s a tiled roof, you’re able to customise your roof to include gorgeous, large rooflights that allow natural light to flood your conservatory.
Another benefit of the Guardian Warm Roof is that you can further enhance its atmosphere, ambience, and appearance by incorporating dimmable downlights; giving your conservatory the modern look and feel that we know a lot of our customers long for.
LivinROOF replacement
The LivinRoof is the perfect replacement roof option for homes in the UK, thanks to its incredibly robust design. A LivinRoof is able to withstand wind speeds of up to 130mph whilst still achieving U-values as low as 0.16. This is up to 15 times more thermally efficient than your current conservatory roof.
One of the best features of a LivinRoof is the customisation opportunities, add glazing panels wherever you like to control the amount of light in your conservatory. Incorporate spotlights and speakers within the interior of the roof.
LivinRoof replacements can be fitted onto almost any existing conservatory style including:
- Georgian
- Victorian
- P-Shape
- Lean-To
- T-Shape
- Gable
Glass roof replacement
A glass conservatory roof is a perfect way to create a timeless and sophisticated appearance. It’s the best roof to install when you’re looking for a modern way to flood your conservatory with bright and fresh light. At Halstead Glass, we offer tinted solar control glass that will allow you to soak in the sun without overheating.
You’re even able to upgrade to self-cleaning glass for the ultimate low maintenance conservatory roof option. The glass works but using the suns natural heat to burn away any dirt or grime that has built up on the roof.
Style your conservatory with modern, minimalistic furniture
To modernise your conservatory, how about opting for a classic all-white décor and investing in minimalistic modern conservatory furniture such as a hanging egg pod conservatory chair? The interior of your conservatory should feel warm and welcoming; something you’re guaranteed to achieve by opting for the right conservatory furniture.
The beauty of all-white décor is that it will create a modern conservatory look and make your conservatory feel more open-plan – something we know a lot of our customer’s desire.
Replace your conservatory windows with double glazing

What’s even better is that our energy-efficient windows can achieve an incredible A++ rating and could save you up to £120 a year on your energy bills – a far superior offering than any of our competitors.
