Choose the perfect solid roof style to suit your preferences and budget, ranging from economical replica tiles for a cost-effective solution to the contemporary solid panel roof or the timeless appeal of a traditional tiled roof conservatory. The versatility continues with an array of tile colours and the option to incorporate glass roof panels, allowing natural light to flood your living space. This harmonious blend of classic aesthetics and modern functionality creates a stylish and inviting atmosphere in your home.
Key Features
The Equinox tiled roof system offers superior structural strength due to its robust aluminium framework and unique design of interlocking panels. Its flush fitting rafters provide even greater strength whilst reduced eaves beam overhang eliminate potential issues with boundary lines.
15o and 25o fixed pitch profiles allow for simpler and more cost-effective designs whilst of variable profiles offer the flexibility to meet the needs of our customers.
Boasting a total of 160mm high performance styrene thermal insulation our solid roofs attain U-Values as low as 0.15. This provides great benefits when it comes to not only keeping warm in the winter but cool in the summer allowing for 365-day comfort whatever the English weather has in store. In turn this can help to reduce external noise as well as consumers energy bills reducing their carbon footprint in a time where every little counts.
This is the only solid tiled conservatory roof that can achieve pitches as low as 5°. Most suited for projects with height restrictions that other systems might not be able to accommodate, making solid tiled conservatories accessible for many people.
Our 18mm OSB3 timber deck is raised to leave an air gap between itself and aluminium components reducing the risk of condensation and greatly improving ventilation. In turn this also increases the strength of the roof and eliminate the risk of sagging.

Dakea Vents
The Better Safe Dakes Vents are a very popular option as they allow for more light in the living space. The laminated internal pane and toughened external pane make this the perfect window to install in rooms with a higher probability of impact to the glass such as playrooms and kids’ bedrooms.
These vents have a fixed width of 550mm, but they do come in 2 heights: 780mm and 980mm. We make sure to use the 980mm whenever possible to maximise the light coming into the conservatory.
There are 3 types available:
Manual – Manually opened and close via a winder pole.
Electric – Electrically operated via a rocker switch.
Rain Sensing – Same as electric but features a rain sensor that closes the vent once rain is detected.
Vega Glass Units
Vega Glass Units are seen as the next step up from Solid Roof Vents featuring large, glazed areas of up to 1000mm wide providing up to 850mm widths of visible natural light for brighter, sunlit conservatories that give an impression of even more space.
When our customers ask for quotes with Dakea Vents we always accompany this quote with a second quote containing VEGA Glass Units (when possible). We see them as a much better option, and you would be surprised to find they tend to be cheaper
Eaves Beam
Bi-Fold Bolster
Our Bi Fold Bolster bar is a 70mm aluminium box section that is powder coated and thermally broke with resin blocks. This bi folding support system is only fitted locally above & around the bi‐folding door, giving structural support only where needed, creating a ‘goal post support system’.
Soffit Eaves Beam
The Soffit Eaves Beam upgrade provides an external soffit to the conservatory roof giving that traditional overhang appearance to match your property. This also allows for external spotlights enhancing your conservatory especially in the evenings.
