If your conservatory is too hot in summer, freezing in winter, or simply looking tired, upgrading the roof can completely transform the space. Homeowners across Evesham, Worcester, Broadway, Chipping Campden, Moreton‑in‑Marsh, Stow‑on‑the‑Wold, and the wider Cotswolds often ask the same question: Which conservatory roof is best? 

Each option has its strengths, and the right choice depends on your budget, the age of your conservatory, and how you want to use the space.

  1. Perspex (Polycarbonate) Conservatory Roofs

Perspex, also known as polycarbonate, is the traditional material used on older conservatories.

Pros

  • Cheapest option
  • Lightweight
  • Quick to install
  • Lets in plenty of natural light

Cons

  • Poor insulation
  • Noisy in rain
  • Prone to discolouration over time
  • Can make the conservatory too hot in summer and cold in winter

Best For

Budget‑friendly refurbishments or temporary fixes.
However, most homeowners in the Cotswolds now choose to upgrade to glass or a warm roof for better comfort and energy efficiency.

  1. Glass Conservatory Roofs

Glass roofs are a major step up from Perspex, offering better insulation, clarity, and longevity.

Pros

  • Excellent natural light
  • Much quieter than Perspex
  • Better thermal performance
  • Modern solar‑control glass reduces heat build‑up
  • Long‑lasting and low maintenance, with Self Cleaning glass

Cons

  • More expensive than Perspex
  • Still not as thermally efficient as a warm roof
  • Can make the room warm in peak summer without solar‑control glass

Best For

Homeowners who want a bright, airy conservatory that feels more comfortable year‑round.
Perfect for properties in Evesham, Worcester, and the Cotswolds where natural light is a priority.

Pros

  • Reduces energy bills

  • Excellent noise reduction
  • Modern plastered ceiling finish inside
