Conservatory Roof Replacement

Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.55 PM

Hi all, I've just moved into a home that has a shallow lean-to polycarbonate roof. I'm looking to replace it with a something where I can't hear the rain, so that it can be used as a room to escape to for sleep, when my newborn arrives in November. I've had a few contractors out for a quote and I've had EPDM rubber and composite roof tiles recommended to me. They'd clad and insulate underneath and I wouldn't put windows in either, which doesn't hugely bother me, as I think I'd prefer it not being too bright. Has anyone got experience with EPDM and/or composite tiles and do they stop most of the rain noise? Would you recommend one over the other? As I've had a quote for the composite roof tiles at a similar price to the EPDM rubber and can't help thinking the composite tiled roof looks a lot nicer. Thanks, Jon

Hi Jon. Both EPDM and composite tiles are sound options, and having used both products many times, I can assure you(if installed correctly) you won’t get any issues with either products. You are right in thinking that the composite tiles will look better, they do! Make sure you do your research into the company’s who’ve given you quotes and don’t be shy to ask them if you can look at some of their previous work. Good luck, Adrian AD Roof Specialists

Hi Jon I have used composite tiles on a summer house that is used as an office personally I think they look great and they are half the weight as normal clay or concrete tiles hope this helps in your decision
