If you have a glazed or polycarbonate roofing system on your conservatory, you may find the space too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. The reason for this is poor roof insulation. It is also common for homeowners to find glare in the winter and summer unbearable. The Leka System solves both these issues with proper insulation set into a solid, tiled conservatory roof. This creates a more usable space year-round.
We’re that confident in our tiled roofs conversions that we offer a 10 year guarantee!
The Riverdale, solid roof conservatory system is compatible with most existing conservatory builds or can replace a traditional roofing system on a new build. Our system weighs little more than a common glass roofing system with the benefits of added warmth and reduced glare. It’s the best warm roof conservatory system on the market in our opinion.
The Riverdale’s Tiled Roof’s frame (made up of rafters, a ring beam and ridge) is made from glass-reinforced plastic. GRP is a composite with tensile strength greater or equal to steel. Yet it will never corrode or rot. Nor will it shrink or warp. It’s the perfect choice for a roof which is why we chose it. Other materials cannot beat it.
We call them ‘Leka boards’ because we established the benefits for the Leka roof purpose. These are fitted beneath the GRP rafters. They are a third the weight of standard plasterboard, more thermally efficient and 100% waterproof, so will never degrade. They can be skimmed the same as plasterboard for a perfect finish.
We tested a wide number of insulation sheets before choosing a small number of brands. In our opinion, these are the best insulation products on the market. The sheets are fitted with a 15mm gap from the Leka boards to create a warm air pocket. This provides high value thermal efficiency. Each sheet is perfectly cut for your roof.
Next, strong, load-bearing and insulated outer sheets are installed onto the rafters, covering up the construction beneath. The outer sheets are also made of high-grade plastic and XPS foam. They are significantly lighter than any other covering board, 100% waterproof, and have a longer life than plywood boards. This makes them far superior.
You can have your new, warm roof conservatory in a near unlimited range of styles. Popular styles include Victorian, Edwardian, gable ended, lean-to and combination. The Riverdale System can match the design of your old roof or replace it with a new design. It’s up to you. The Riverdale, conservatory roof system uses Tapco slate and Metrotile concrete effect tiles. These engineered tiles are strong and unlike the natural alternative they don’t degrade or weather over time.
An advantage to our lightweight conservatory roof has over the competition is it is JHAI approved, which allows building applications to be fast-tracked in most cases. This speeds up the build and is one of the reasons why installers love our system.
