Conservatory roof insulation isn’t a single technology — it’s a family of different approaches, each solving a different combination of heat loss, solar gain, condensation and structural problems. Retrofit panels, multifoil linings, solar-control glazing, lightweight tiled roofs and hybrid solid/glass systems all trade thermal performance, daylight, cost and disruption differently. The right choice depends on […]
