Conservatory Roof Glass
Benefits of Glass Over Polycarbonate for Conservatory Roofs
ConservatoryLand are experts in providing top class conservatory roof options, with knowledge of the best materials and practices so that you can have total peace of mind in your beautiful new conservatory. Toughened glass is a popular option for many because of the following advantages:
- Some conservatories use polycarbonate, which doesn’t provide as good a view as glass
- Self-cleaning glass is a better choice for conservatory roofs as it is safer for less accessible places
- Polycarbonate is not as quiet as glass during rain and hail – which let’s face it, in this country is definitely a contributing factor!
- Different varieties of glass, such as Pilkington Activ Blue provide improved solar control

Pilkiington K Glass - Low E Insulating Glass
With a reputation built on over 15 years experience, Pilkington K Glass are a respected name and a trustworthy solution for conservatories. With an intelligent, complex technology it works to ensure your conservatory is kept nice and warm so that even with your central heating on low, you can be kept warm when it’s cold outside.

Pilkington energiKare - High Insulating Glass
Pilkington energiKare is a super effective way of insulating your conservatory. It can prevent energy wastage in your home by up to 90% - that’s a massive difference equal to the energy needed to run 9 TVs for a year, drive over 1000km in an average sized car or make over 34,000 cups of tea or coffee!
And this is easily preventable by simply fitting Pilkington energiKare into the frames or roof of your conservatory – an easy investment for a considerable saving in the long term for your home, plus you’ll be warmer!
