AdminWhether your conservatory is used as a dining room, playroom or simply as a place to relax and unwind a solid conservatory roof can change the way you use your home.

This will help to minimize heat loss in the winter and reduce your energy bills.You should be able to find a national installer that has worked with the building control department to come up with an approved design for this type of roof and has LABC (Local Authority Building Control) certification. Look for this and a BBA (British Board of Agreement) accreditation, which means that the roof has been independently tested to ensure it meets the necessary quality standards.When choosing a company to install your solid conservatory roof, you should check their reputation and customer reviews.
