Modern building and insulating materials are a "game changer" when it comes to constructing a solid replacement roof over your existing conservatory.
Due to the technological advancement in producing lightweight components it is now possible to improve your old inefficient conservatory roof, with it's noisy polycarbonate roof sheets, that makes your conservatory too hot in the summer, and too cold in the winter!
TILT and TURN
Our Continental cousins seem to have more of a love affair than us with Tilt & Turn windows..... far more prevalent in the streets of France, Germany, Italy and Russia!
When it comes to versatility these windows tend to have an edge on the traditional outward opening windows that we are so fond of.
They are hinged to open inwards, and can tilt inwards at the top for ventilation.
To accommodate the inward opening feature the outer frame generally needs to be larger to overcome the hinges binding on the internal plaster, and of course they do encroach in to the room when opened fully, which can be a disadvantage in a small room, when every inch/centimetre counts!
