If you are looking to modernise and improve the comfort and overall appearance of your conservatory, you may be wondering if you are able to put a solid roof on your existing conservatory. In short, the answer is yes! We’ve put together this guide to explain why putting a solid roof on your existing conservatory is a great idea.
Retrofitting a solid roof on your conservatory
Replacing just the roof of a conservatory is what is known as a retrofit, as it is retrospectively added at a later date to the original conservatory build. It has become an increasingly popular home improvement amongst homeowners who are looking to modernise their conservatory and add value to their homes.
If your existing polycarbonate roof is looking outdated, or is not providing a quiet and comfortable environment for you to enjoy, replacing it with a solid roof could be the solution for you. Often, polycarbonate roofs are hard to keep clean, noisy when it rains, and poor at regulating the conservatory temperature. A common complaint of older conservatories is that they are ‘too cold in winter’ and ‘too hot in the summer.’ A solid tiled roof will eliminate all these issues, making the room somewhere you can enjoy 365 days a year.
How long does a solid roof take to fit on an existing conservatory?
Here at Seal-Lite, we are fully trained and qualified to install the innovative Guardian Warm Roof as well as the modern Ultraframe Ultraroof. Each installation is different, and the time taken to retrofit your new solid roof will depend on the style of roof you choose and the size of your conservatory. That being said, we aim to complete all roof installations in a few days.

Can you still enjoy natural light with a solid tiled conservatory roof?
If you want to enjoy all of the energy efficiency, aesthetics, and comfort benefits that come with a solid tiled roof, but you still want to flood your conservatory with lots of natural light, we have good news for you! We can install solid roofs with either a lantern roof or a rooflight to create a stunning focal point that elevates your room letting in plenty of natural light.
Lantern roofs
A roof lantern is a glazed and pitched architectural structure designed to increase a room’s natural light. Lantern roofs are either pyramid shaped, or elongated pyramid-shaped, and sit on top of a flat solid roof.
Rooflight
Our flat rooflights, as opposed to a lantern roof, are like large flat windows that can be fitted into a solid conservatory roof.
