Transform Your Conservatory into a Year-Round Living Space
The SupaLite Tiled Roof System is a high-performance replacement roofing solution designed to overcome the common issues associated with traditional glass or polycarbonate conservatories. By replacing a translucent roof with a lightweight, fully insulated solid structure, SupaLite transforms a seasonal room into a comfortable, functional part of the home that feels like a permanent brick-and-mortar extension.
This system is engineered specifically for the refurbishment market, allowing homeowners to upgrade their existing structures without the need for total demolition or expensive new foundations.
What is a SupaLite Tiled Roof?
Unlike traditional roofs, the SupaLite system is constructed using a bespoke, precision-engineered aluminium frame. This frame is incredibly strong yet remarkably lightweight, ensuring it can be safely installed onto existing PVCu or aluminium conservatory window frames.
The structure is packed with high-performance PIR rigid insulation boards and finished externally with lightweight tiles or slate. Internally, the roof is completed with a vaulted, plastered ceiling, creating a seamless transition between the conservatory and the rest of the house.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Exceptional Thermal Efficiency
The standout feature of a SupaLite roof is its ability to regulate temperature. It achieves a U-value of 0.15, which is roughly ten times more efficient than standard polycarbonate. This prevents heat from escaping in the winter and blocks solar gain in the summer, making the room usable 365 days a year while reducing energy costs.
2. Acoustic Insulation
The multi-layered construction of the SupaLite system provides a massive improvement in soundproofing. It effectively eliminates the drumming caused by heavy rain and wind, providing a peaceful environment for watching television, working, or relaxing.
3. Advanced Weatherproofing
SupaLite roofs are rigorously tested to withstand extreme weather conditions. The system is designed to be fully breathable to prevent condensation, while the external tiles are UV-resistant and fire-rated, ensuring the longevity and safety of the structure.
4. Natural Light Solutions
Upgrading to a solid roof doesn’t have to mean losing natural light. The SkyVista feature allows for the integration of high-performance, self-cleaning glass panels directly into the tiled roof. This provides the thermal benefits of a solid roof while maintaining an airy, sun-lit atmosphere.
Bespoke Design Options
Every SupaLite roof is custom-built to the specific dimensions of your conservatory, whether it is a Victorian, Edwardian, Lean-to, or P-shaped design.
- External Finishes: Choose from ExtraLight steel tiles or TapcoSlate composite shingles. These are available in a variety of authentic colors – such as Charcoal, Ember, Walnut, and Plum – to ensure a perfect match with your property’s existing roofline.
- Internal Customisation: The plastered vaulted ceiling offers a modern, clean finish. This design allows for the installation of integrated LED downlights and speaker systems, providing a level of interior styling that is impossible with glass roofs.
- Structural Versatility: The lightweight nature of the aluminium rafters allows for large spans and complex shapes, making it suitable for almost any conservatory size or configuration.
