We understand that a conservatory is a valuable home improvement feature. Your property is gaining more space and is one step closer to creating your dream home. However, more often than not, we find customer complaining about how their orangery or extension can only be used in the summer! As a result of heat easily escape due to a lack of insulating materials, warm temperatures cannot be trapped inside. Therefore, in winter months, your conservatory space becomes cold quickly and ultimately not used.
But we have a solution! Warm roof installations are an innovative home improvement that can make any conservatory energy efficient. Therefore, your home can have a warm and comfortable environment all year round — the perfect solution to a common problem.
So, what exactly is a warm roof installation?
Essentially, a warm roof is a big coat for your conservatory. A warm roof simply keeps your extension warm. As opposed to installing insulation between rafters like a traditional cold roof, a warm roof is installed on top of an existing surface. Therefore, this ensures the whole roof surface is insulated and energy-efficient.
There are multiple styles and models available so you can ensure you warm roof matches your home’s style effortlessly. One of the models we install is the basic warm roof. Overall, this is a solid covering to trap heat. But, there is also the option of investing in a LivinRoof.

With either warm roof, you and your family can be assured that your conservatory will no longer be a cold area but instead a warm, relaxing room perfect throughout the colder months.
What makes up a warm roof?
Now for the more technical bit.
A warm roof construction consists of many complex layers. The base is made up of a general concrete ceiling, so the roof looks contemporary internally and externally. Above this, there is a reinforced roof decking combined with structural joints, which hold up a vapour control layer – this manages your roof’s condensation preventing damp developing.
Next, this material is then overlapped by thermal insulation – this provides the best energy-conservation between the elements. Finally, the overlay board and reinforced EPDM membrane are installed, which preserve the exposed surface of the roof.
So, in brief, in the construction of a warm roof, the insulation layer is placed above the structural decking, resulting in the structural deck and other supports being at the same temperature to that of the building interior.
Although this may all sound very complex, it is clear that overall a considerable amount of materials and structure go into the formation of a warm roof – which is why you can be guaranteed the most effective heat management.
How could a warm roof benefit your home?
