Replacement roof glazing for Conservatories

Self Cleaning Glass isn’t a new innovation and has actually been around for quite some time. Revolutionary in every sense, it contains a special coating that’s carefully applied to the glass during the molten stage of the manufacturing process.

Upon the unit’s completion and integration into a roof or window, the coating triggers into action once exposed to UV natural light and gradually breaks down any dirt or organic matter that builds up on the outer surface. It’s purposely smooth so that rainwater isn’t able to form and just runs off the surface, removing any organic matter with it as it does so.

The glass roof is defined by its elegant, crisp finish and offers total clarity, as well as restricting the volume of noise created by falling rain and hail. Be assured that this in no way sacrifices thermal control or insulation.

Use the following metrics to understand the qualities of each glazing option:

U-Value – Symbolising the level of internal heat loss in cooler spells. The lower the U-Value, the better the insulation.

Solar Heat Reflection – This indicates the percentage of total solar energy (heat from the sun) intercepted from travelling through the glass.

Light Transmission – Conveys the percentage of visible light transmitted directly through the glass.

If it’s a flood of natural light and immersive views that you’re after inside your glass roof conservatory, you’ve found the right glass. Offering a U-value of only 1.2 and 65% light transmission, it will help the room preserve internal heat.

Possessing a self-cleaning coating, the incredible heat reflection causes the capturing of essential warmth from the sun in cooler periods.

The most neutral of tints, this high performance glass is well-suited to North facing glass roof conservatories where it’s essential that light is transmitted through in winter.

It falls into the ‘easy clean’ category and has an impressively low U-value of 1.2. Observe how it attracts great quantities of light in the conservatory.

The Blue Ultra has a slightly darker tint than the other options and includes ‘self-clean’ technology as standard.

With an impressive 83% solar heat reflection and a market-leading U-value of 1.0, Blue Ultra is our highest-performing glass option. It’s the ideal choice for south-facing living spaces where superior heat control and energy efficiency are essential.

The effects of climate change have reinforced the importance of energy saving wherever possible and our specialist glass roofing products fulfil this need with their high performance Low Emissivity glass.

Each coating is transparent and designed to do two contrasting roles – reflect heat produced internally by a boiler back into the space, whilst also utilising the heat and light produced by the sun (passive solar heat gain) and filtering it in to create energy efficient surroundings.

Argon gas is inserted into the roof units to magnify thermal performance further and bring down the overall ‘U’ value.
