Can typical house roofing be used for a conservatory?
When looking to keep out unwanted noise and retain heat, you may consider changing your conservatory roof to better make use of your conservatory investment. However, it’s important that we consider what materials are used for the roof, or there could be ramifications. Those with spare building supplies around may assume that roof tiles can be used for a conservatory but unfortunately, this is not the case.
Although roofing tiles are ideal for houses, conservatories don’t have the supporting framework that a house does. As such, the use of house roof tiles on a conservatory roof could cause problems with the overall structure of the conservatory.
Lightweight conservatory roof tiles
Lightweight roof tiles are up to seven times lighter than typical house roof tiles, and can therefore be placed on a conservatory with no ramifications. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, lightweight tiles can also ensure that you’re able to enjoy your conservatory all year round. This is because lightweight roof tiles help omit outside noise and help retain and reflect year more effectively.
Energy bill savings
There is also the potential savings on energy bills to consider. Better insulated roofing that can retain heat in the winter means less energy will escape through your conservatory glass and will help to reduce both your energy bills and your carbon footprint.

Those with the necessarily skills may wish to carry out the conservatory roof conversion themselves, or look to employ the services of a professional in order to save time. When choosing an installer, ensure that they are reputable and reliable when undertaking the service.
