Conservatories suffer from heat loss through the roof and are prone to becoming greenhouses in summer. Insulated panels improve the temperature of your conservatory and reduce energy bills.
They can be installed within a day and fit into your existing polycarbonate roof structure. They also come in a range of colours to suit your home.
Thermotec Insulated Roof Panels
A conservatory roof upgrade with Thermotec will not only stop your conservatory getting too hot in Summer, but it also works wonders on the Winter cold. With most existing conservatories having a U-Value of around 2.0 Watts per square metre, Thermotec significantly reduces that with panels at 0.29W/m2K or lower.
conservatory roof insulation panels are made from lightweight aluminium and packed with insulation. This means they can be easily fitted into your existing conservatory roof structure. It is much easier than a tiled roof and usually takes just one day to install.
They are compatible with most brands of aluminium or upvc conservatories and will improve thermal and acoustic performance compared to glass or polycarbonate. We will survey your current conservatory to ensure the roof is compatible and take measurements so that we can optimise the panels for your unique conservatory. This minimises sheet wastage and helps keep costs down. Each insulated conservatory roof panel is hand-made, which allows us to ensure a snug fit and a good quality finish.
Clip In Insulated Roof Panels
As with any product, insulated panels have both pros and cons. They’re easy to install and offer good insulation, but they’re not environmentally friendly – the plywood used is made with formaldehyde, which emits toxic gasses into the environment.
Insulated metal roof panels provide a strong, weather-sealed barrier to protect against the elements all year round – they’ll keep you warm in winter, cool in summer, and damp in autumn and spring. This means you can enjoy your conservatory for longer and get the most out of it as a living space.
They also reduce heating and cooling costs by providing enhanced insulation values and reducing thermal transfer between the outside and inside of your home. In fact, some studies show that insulated metal roof and wall panels can cut energy bills by up to 58%. This is because the panels are manufactured to create a continuous foam interface and eliminate gaps that often appear with traditional field framed walls and roofs.
Multi Foil Insulation
Foil insulation provides an effective solution to reduce heat loss from roofs, walls and floors. This is done by reflecting the sun’s rays away from your property in summer and trapping warmth inside during winter. Foil insulation can also limit convection and conduction by limiting air movement.
Multifoil insulation is available in a range of thicknesses to suit different projects. The SuperFOIL range, for example, offers a 3-in-1 product to prevent thermal bridging in new build and retrofit applications. It contains a breathable membrane to minimise moisture accumulation and a reflective foil layer to improve the insulating properties.
It is easy to install and can be placed in between rafters or joists. It is a safe option to install as it does not create dust and is resistant to fire, moisture and rot. Products such as TLX Silver and EcoQuilt Expert are UKCA marked to demonstrate this. They are ideal to use in a wide range of projects including floors, walls and roofs.

A poor insulated conservatory can lead to all sorts of issues that can make your space unusable all year round. The good news is that there are a range of easy to fit solutions to help you transform your conservatory into a room you can use throughout the year.
The key is to choose a roof that will provide excellent insulation. The best options include glass conservatory roofs that come with a range of innovative features to maximise energy efficiency, including solar control coatings and self-cleaning glazing.
In Greenspace (UK) Ltd v HMRC, the Court of Appeal ruled that insulated panels that were used to replace existing roof glass were not VAT-rated at 5%. This is because they were not a ‘supply of insulation for roofs’ as required by the VAT Regulations. In contrast, a uPVC cladding system or thermal quilt is considered to be a supply of insulation for roofs and therefore qualifies for the reduced rating.
