The whole job should be completed in just 1-day. True to our word, your conservatory will literally be transformed overnight. We will remove your old roof panels, give the roof structure a clean using specialist products and then fit brand new insulated Thermotec panels.
One of the major problems faced in conservatories with a transparent roof is that it emits harmful UV rays. As a result of this, furniture, ornaments and flooring can be permanently faded or damaged. Thus, making it almost impossible to watch TV or read. When Thermotec roof panels are installed, these problems will disappear as the harmful rays will no longer be able to radiate through the roof. This then ensures your conservatory can be used whatever the weather, at all times of the year.
Thermotec is a bespoke, customisable product that can be made to fit any size or shape of existing roof structure. Before installing, we will survey your roof to ensure each panel fits perfectly. All of our panels are manufactured in the UK and are hand-finished and powder-coated to a high standard, as well as offering you the freedom to have a colour of your choice. Some of the most popular choices include light grey or oak. You can also select a gloss or matte finish.
No, considering the use a homeowner will receive, Thermotec represents great value as it drastically changes your conservatory looks and performance wise. There is also no risk or change required to an existing structure, which means there are no extra, hidden costs.
Our panels come with a fully comprehensive 10-year guarantee and have a life expectancy of over 40 years. All of our panels are manufactured in the UK and are hand-finished and powder-coated to a high standard, therefore we are confident they will serve you for many years.
Our panels are individually manufactured from lightweight aluminium with a 75mm high-density foam insulated core. This makes them 8 times more efficient than polycarbonate panels. The major difference with Thermotec panels is that they are insulated to retain warmth and repel cold and noise. This making sure your conservatory is comfortable all year round.
Thermotec panels are energy efficient, therefore your heating costs will be reduced when switching from polycarbonate and glass roofs. If your conservatory has lost purpose due to being too hot in Summer and too cold in Winter, Thermotec will help you to get your conservatory back.
Yes, with Thermotec, you can hybridise your roof so that it can be part solid panel and part glass unit or roof vent. This makes our roof systems extremely versatile.
Warm roofs take considerably longer to install and can also put the existing conservatory frame under unnecessary pressure. In contrast to this, Thermotec is designed to be fitted in 1 day and works with your existing structure. Warm roofs can be extremely labour intensive, therefore Thermotec is a more economical and environmentally friendly option.
Planning permission should NOT be required when upgrading your existing conservatory with Thermotec roof panels. Building Regulations also should NOT be applicable. In the unlikely event that your upgrade does require planning permission, we are happy to assist. As well as this, if building regulations are a requirement, Thermotec is building control compliant.
