When designing your conservatory, the
choice of a glass or polycarbonate roof
is an important one.
Conservaglass Optimum is an excellent
choice, offering a great combination of
these factors plus an easy clean
coating.
-
POLYCARBONATE
Polycarbonate is a lower cost
alternative to glass and it can be
treated to offer excellent solar
protection and thermal
properties, but, until now, this has
been at the cost of light transmission.
-
Polyspan Optimum is a revolutionary new
polycarbonate that has the best solar
control in combination with light
transmission available on the market
today. It is available in blue or grey
with all diy conservatories roofing
systems.
-
Product features and benefits
- Blocks over 80% heat from the sun and
allows much more light through
- Available on all Diy conservatories
roofs in blue and grey
- 25mm
- UV coated on both sides so it cannot
be installed upside down
-
The measurements explained-
Solar Control
A measure of 0.16 means the material
lets 16% of the sun’s energy
through, i.e. 84% is blocked, so the
lower the value the better.
U Value
A measure of how well the material
retains heat, the lower the figure
the more efficient as heat is retained
for longer.

Conservaglass represents a new
generation of glazing options. In
addition to keeping the sun’s energy out
in Summer and keeping the interior warm
in Winter, it stays cleaner for longer
than conventional glass. Not only does
it stay cleaner for longer but a
transparent coating bonded into the
external surface of the glass (not
sprayed on to the sealed unit after
production like some competitor
products) uses the power of ultraviolet
rays and the rain to break down dirt and
grime and wash it clean away. So whether
its for your roof only or includes the
side frames too, specify Conservaglass
and enjoy the comfort of your
conservatory all year round.
