Below are some commonly asked questions, however we want to give every customer the opportunity to find out how Thermotec can truly transform their conservatory, so if you have any questions of your own or would like to arrange a free quotation then please call us on 0800 488 0579.
The transformation process is quick and efficient. First, the existing roof panels are carefully removed, and the roof structure is thoroughly cleaned using specialist products to ensure the best possible installation. The new insulated Thermotec roof panels are then expertly fitted.
In most cases, the entire installation is completed within just one day, allowing you to enjoy a dramatically improved conservatory almost immediately. The result is a stunning transformation that can truly be achieved overnight.
Sunlight radiating through a transparent conservatory roof emits harmful UV rays which can fade furniture, ornaments and flooring causing permanent damage not to mention often making it impossible to read or watch TV. Our none translucent, insulated conservatory roof panels help prevent the fading of contents as harmful rays will no longer be able to radiate through the roof and the room will become much more comfortable to use.
As Thermotec is a bespoke, precision product it can be made to fit any size or shape of existing roof structure; we meticulously survey your roof to ensure each and every panel is a precise fit. We carefully hand-finish the panels before finally powder-coating them in a colour of your choice. Oak, anthracite or light grey are all popular choices and you can even select from a matte or gloss finish and introduce partial glazing if some natural roof light is a requirement.
No. When considering the long-term benefits and increased usability it provides, a Thermotec roof represents excellent value for money. It can completely transform a conservatory inside and out while turning it into a practical, year-round living space.
Because the Thermotec system is designed to work with your existing conservatory structure, there is typically no need for costly structural modifications. This helps keep installation straightforward and cost-effective, allowing homeowners to enjoy the benefits of a transformed conservatory without unexpected additional expenses.
Thermotec panels are precision-manufactured in the UK and expertly hand-finished, with a high-quality powder-coated finish designed to provide exceptional durability and long-lasting performance.
We are confident in the quality of our products, which is why every Thermotec panel is backed by a comprehensive 10-year guarantee. With proper installation and normal use, the panels are engineered to deliver a life expectancy of more than 40 years, providing homeowners with a reliable and low-maintenance roofing solution for decades to come.
Thermotec panels are individually manufactured from strong, lightweight aluminium with a 75mm high-density foam insulated core making them 8 times more efficient than polycarbonate panels. The insulated panels retain the warmth, repel the cold and noise, and keep the conservatory comfortable all year round.
Polycarbonate and glass roofs do not offer good thermal insulation whereas Thermotec panels are energy efficient and will reduce heating costs. Thermotec will give you back a cosy room that can be used throughout the year – the days of an uninhabitable, cold or hot conservatory will soon be gone.
Yes, a Thermotec roof can be hybridised so it can be part solid panel and part high performance glass unit(s) or roof vent so our roof system is extremely versatile.
>Warm roofs take on average 7-days to install and can put existing frames/ foundations under unnecessary strain whereas Thermotec is designed to be fitted in just 1-day and works in conjunction with the existing structure. Warm roofs tend to be labour intensive so upgrading your roof with Thermotec is usually a more economic option and without the disturbance.
In most cases, Planning Permission is not required when upgrading an existing conservatory with Thermotec roof panels. However, Building Regulations approval is typically required to and Thermotec roof panels are fully compliant with Building Control so itβs usually a straightforward application process which weβll be happy to assist with.
