Does a flat roof add value to your conservatory?

The traditional glass or polycarbonate roof of a conservatory lets in plenty of natural light, but it comes at a cost - the space turns into a sauna in the summer and an icebox in the winter, making it unusable for large parts of the year.

One solution? Replacing your existing roof with a solid flat roof. But besides creating a more comfortable space year-round, does a flat conservatory roof add value to your property? The answer is yes, and below, Ecozenic’s conservatory experts will explain why!

Why does a flat roof add value to a conservatory?

A flat roof conservatory can boost your property's value in several ways, both practical and aesthetic. Here's why:

1. Improved insulation

Flat conservatory roofs are often made from insulated tiles or lightweight composite materials, which provide a significant advantage over traditional roofs. Better insulation means the temperature inside the conservatory remains more consistent, making it comfortable to use in all seasons and reducing energy bills. This feature is a major selling point for potential buyers.

At Ecozenic, we take it a step further. Our thermally insulated flat roofs boast an impressive U-value of 0.13 W/m2K, much lower than building regulations require, which results in outstanding thermal performance for year-round comfort.

And our lanterns are just as impressive. They feature Thermlock® multi-chamber technology for extra insulation, along with thicker glazing (28mm compared to the industry standard of 25mm). They also have built-in solar control to reflect heat in the summer and retain warmth in the winter.

With an Ecozenic roof, your conservatory becomes a comfortable haven you (and your home’s eventual buyers) can enjoy all year long.

2. Modern appearance

A flat roof gives your conservatory a beautifully clean, minimalist look, which is only complemented by adding a lantern on top. This modern touch can appeal to a wide range of buyers.

Ecozenic's flat roofs are designed to impress, with their contemporary lines complimenting a variety of architectural styles. They can also be customised in a variety of ways:

• We offer ten stunning lantern styles, from classic pyramids to sleek rectangles that stretch the entire length of your conservatory. They come in all sizes, even up to a massive 3.2 metres by 6 metres!
• Want to add a touch of ambiance after dark? Opt for an integrated LED channel around the lantern's edge for some stylish mood lighting.
• The facias, gutters, lantern frame, and even the glass itself come in a wide range of colours to perfectly match your home's style.

Whatever your vision, we can design and install a roof that perfectly complements it.

3. Easier maintenance

Flat roofs are easier to access than traditional pitched roofs, making routine maintenance tasks like cleaning gutters and checking for leaks much simpler. This convenience can appeal to buyers looking for a low-maintenance home.

Ecozenic's flat roof lanterns take this ease of maintenance a step further. Most of our glass options come standard with a self-cleaning coating on the outside pane. This means less time spent scrubbing and more time enjoying the beautiful natural light your lantern brings in.

How much value does replacing a conservatory roof with a flat roof add to your home's value?

While it's hard to pinpoint an exact figure, upgrading to a well-insulated flat roof that creates a more usable space could add 10-15% to your home's value. Of course, the exact increase depends on the size, design, and location of your conservatory and home in general.
