Ultraroof
Ultraroof is a good all rounder and has some benefits that the other roofs on this website don’t have – this is because the roof is constructed with a much wider beam than other systems. This makes the roof stronger so it can handle door spans as large as 4000mm, which helps to save you money on additional structural support if you are planning to use large doors. The unique design of the beam also means, it doesn’t need a tie beam giving you uninterrupted views of the ceiling making your conservatory feel more like an extension and less like a conservatory.
When it comes to weight and energy efficient Ultraroof it is amongst the best. Weighing in at 38kg/m2 it is one of the lightest roof systems we compare, making it ideal to sit on top of old or new conservatories. With an energy efficient and Building Regulation compliant U-Value of only 0.15 as standard, it can go as low as 0.13 if required so it will help to keep your conservatory toasty in the winter and cool as a cucumber in summer too.
Ultraroof also has some unique design features which make for a more modern look. The full length panels of glass bathe your conservatory in natural light, but also helps to keep you snug as a bug in a rug with a range of performance glass options available. Externally Ultraroof uses aluminium cappings that are much slimmer than the other systems and look very neat especially on smaller conservatories where the thicker matching cappings can look quite chunky.
Component Features
-
Tie Beam FreeA tie beam is a horizontal bar or beam that ‘ties’ the roof together to keep it in the correct position and supports additional load from wind and snow.
Solid roof systems that are based on conservatory technology will require a tie beam that is visible inside, but systems based on more traditional building principles have stronger beams and therefore never require a tie beam. -
Internal Lighting PelmetAn internal plastered pelmet which runs around the perimeter where the top of the windows/doors meets the roof. It gives a more extension-like feel to a room and is a great place for spotlights and speakers.
-
Slimline Aluminium CappingsVital to the overall aesthetics of your conservatory roof, most tiles have matching hip and ridge caps, but these can often be quite thick, if you’re after a slimmer, modern look, some systems have a coordinated slimline aluminium capping finish.

No Cold SpotsA cold spot is an area of the roof where there is a gap in the insulation, these areas will be colder and creates a greater risk of condensation forming which could lead to mould issues.
-
Fire TestedThis means the roof has been fire tested as an assembled structure (conservatory). A full fire test evaluates how all the parts of the roof interact in a fire, rather than relying on a fire safety certificate of separate components.
-
Meets Building RegulationsAll solid conservatory roofs require Building Regulation approval because a certificate is required when you are selling your home. If a roofing system is already pre-approved, the process is much easier, more certain and quicker.
