What our customers say:
"And now that it is a much more comfortable temperature, I can get far more use out of it."
Mr T, Surrey
"Since you put on the new roof the difference is amazing. My conservatory is now useable throughout the year."
Mrs O, Kent
"The heat has always been a problem, but as it is a small room I didn't want blinds. I felt they would clutter the room."
Miss H, Hampshire
"The temperature could rise to 53°C, but now 27°C is the highest we have registered."
Mr C, Hampshire
Solar Heat Reflecting Sheets - Easy To Fit
Installing Solar heat reflecting sheets to the external face of the glazing is relatively straight forward for the competent DIYer or handy person. However it will involve working on the conservatory roof so it is advised that suitable safety equipment is used - we can advise on this.
The pre cut sheets (as per our survey service) will be delivered with a protective removable film and labelled to match the appropriate roof section.
Preparation
Sort the laminate sheets to the matching roof section; ensure ladder to access roof is safe and that the safety precautions for working on the roof are suitable.
Remove glazing bar covers and end caps. This will vary depending on the construction of the conservatory. Most conservatory systems will simply clip off or unscrew.
Installation
Place the solar heat reflecting sheet (with the outside face label side facing outward) onto the existing roof panel taking care that it is not dislodged in the process. The laminate sheet can be easily trimmed to fit with a sharp knife if required. Remove the protective film.
Finishing
Replace the glazing bar covers and end caps and seal with clear silicon if necessary. Repeat process on all roof panels until complete.
