Glass Roof or Polycarbonate Roof?

Choose from our Solar Controlled Glass Roofs or the latest Polycarbonate Roof for your Victorian Conservatory.

For our full range of custom-made Victorian Conservatories, West Yorkshire Windows in Yorkshire are proud to offer some of the most advanced roofing solutions available today.

Solar Glass Roof

Our Victorian Conservatories have access to a range of solar control glazing options, with our unique Solaris glass range providing the main option for solar control.

Solar control properties work in two ways, first by reducing unwanted heat gain in summer, and second by reducing unwanted heat loss in the winter.

This works thanks to the treatment that the glass undergoes during manufacture. Firstly, the outside of the glass is treated to reflect unwanted summer rays and prevent them from entering your Victorian Conservatory and causing it to over heat. Secondly, the inside the glass has been treated to reduce the amount of heat radiation and therefore heat loss, by absorbing and reflecting the heat into the room as it tries to pass back through the glass.

Polycarbonate Roof

A second option for your Victorian Conservatory roof is the Polycarbonate roof. It helps to maintain a comfortable internal temperature using its integral solar protection that prevents up to 80% of the sun's solar energy from entering the conservatory through the roof.

Our polycarbonate roofs will reduce glare by up to 86%, increasing comfort levels in your Victorian conservatory. In winter, most of the heat lost escapes through the roof; with our polycarbonate roof, a large proportion of rising heat is radiated back into the room, helping to maintain comfortable temperatures and reducing heating costs.
