conservatoryextra The Guardian Roof is the only approved* and guaranteed solid conservatory roof in the UK... No wonder it’s the market leader and the country’s best seller! Since launching in 2011, the Guardian Roof system has continued to have month on month sales increases and the prospects for 2014 are likely to be even better. With an established network of fabricators, more and more installers and a huge consumer demand, sales of Guardian’s unique system are quite literally going through the roof! Fully tested and approved for both thermal and structural standards, the Guardian system is a high performance insulated roof comprising of a preengineered lightweight frame, two layers of rigid insulation board, internal insulated plasterboard, exterior grade plywood, a vapour membrane and a choice of external tile finishes. One of the key advantages of the Guardian Roof above any other similar system is that it’s the only one to have been Officially Approved for installation throughout Great Britain by the LABC and LABSS, which means that if there were any customer concerns about building regulations or standards they can easily be dealt with. With a Guardian roof, the old conservatory gets a new lease of life and becomes an integral part of the home, looking more like an extension than a conservatory. The Replacement Market There are a huge number of conservatories in the UK with either glass or polycarbonate roofs and with that, there are an awful lot of frustrated homeowners. In the winter months, conservatories are notoriously difficult to heat up and in summer, it’s just the opposite but it is not just the fluctuations in temperature: traditional roofs can be very noisy, especially when it is raining and the acoustics inside a typical conservatory are often harsh and echoey. In simple terms, the Guardian Roof system has been designed to replace the glass or polycarbonate roof while retaining the existing windows, doors, frames and With the Guardian Roof in place the conservatory becomes an family-favourite all-year round garden room, warm and cosy in Winter, nice and cool in Summer.
