Glass roof for lean to conservatory

Hi sarahegarrick, There are some companies in our industry that can supply you with a glass roof for a lean to at 4m projection. It's likely that you will have something called a "Muntin Bar" running across the width of the roof. This will separate the glass roof glass into two pieces. The muntin bars are sometime prone to leaking. There is a company called "Tuffex" who sell glass upto 4m without the need for a muntin bar. Hope this helps :)

Solar glass is supposed to keep heat out / heat in. You're probably better off asking an expert from one of the window / door suppliers. However, we had a big old argument with ours and had it changed free of charge because, they didn't explain that the first lot of glass was reflective.............which, totally spoilt the view as we could see ourselves in it and not the clear view of the sky, trees, birds etc.......So, if you do go ahead make sure you get a clear view. I think they just try to sell you the most expensive! To be fair, in a conservatory in our experience, it makes not one jot of difference. We have very heavy curtains that run on a continuous track and pull right back to the sides out of the way. We pull them both to keep heat out and then at night to keep heat in, they do the trick.

We actually did this for a customer recently. Removed the poly roof and replaced with 150 x 50mm joists at 450mm centres. 18mm water resistant ply with DPM roofing system. Insulated with 100mm kingspan. As there are large windows and a set of French doors all the way round, the light ingress isn't diminished. We then decorated in light grey with a light grey laminate floor. Customer is really loving it!!
