From Cold to Cosy - A Conservatory Roof Replacement in Braintree
Based in Braintree, Essex, these homeowners were struggling with their existing conservatory, which became uncomfortably hot during the summer and far too cold in the winter. They wanted a solution that would make the space usable all year round without losing the charm of the original structure. By keeping the existing frames, the project aimed to modernise the roof while maintaining the character of the room.
The solution was to install Ultraframe’s UltraROOF in a bespoke shape, complete with a cut-out for a log burner. This approach provided a fully tailored design while improving thermal efficiency and comfort. The roof replacement meant the room could now be considered a single-storey extension, fully compliant with building regulations.
The results speak for themselves. The new UltraROOF transformed the space into a comfortable, stylish extension that is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The bespoke design accommodates the log burner seamlessly, creating a functional and inviting living area. The homeowners now enjoy a versatile space that adds both comfort and value to their home.
