Q How low will the new ceiling be?
A The completed installation will be be approximately 45mm lower than the existing roof depending upon the profile, but the shape of the existing roof will remain unaffected.
Q How long does a typical installation take?
A A small conservatory e.g. 3m x 3m can be completed within one day but larger conservatories generally can take two to three days
Q How heavy is the product?
A As stated on this site the combined weight of all components fitted is no more than 1.5kg/m2, which is over 70% lighter than conventional materials. This therefore has very little impact on the storm weight calculation for the structure
Q Will it cure condensation?
A The insulation will greatly reduce the formation of condensation on the ceiling but we always recommend further measures to help reduce it to a minimum i.e. the effective use of air extraction in kitchens and bathrooms and if the problem is particularly bad we would recommend the use of a dehumidifier. In the winter months it is also essential to have a "dry" source of heat. That is to say the presence of a central heating radiator or electric heater. Portable gas heaters should never be used in a conservatory as they will introduce unwanted additional moisture to the environment
Q How will it look from the outside?
A The insulation is not noticeable through polycarbonate panels but where glass panels are present we use a solar reflective obscuring film first, this gives a neat reflective finish from the outside so the insulation beneath is not visible.
