Where is the proof?

The performance of our Thermotec conservatory roof panels can be demonstrated through their U-value of 0.29 W/m²K.

But what does a U-value actually mean?

What is a U-Value?

A U-value measures the rate of heat transfer through a material or structure. The lower the U-value, the greater its resistance to heat passing through it.

Here’s how Thermotec compares with some common conservatory glazing materials:

  Polycarbonate (4mm) = 3.8
  Polycarbonate (16mm) = 2.3
  Polycarbonate (25mm) = 1.4
  Triple Glazing = 1.2
  Solar Glazing = 1.0
  Thermotec Panels = 0.29

With a U-value of 0.29 W/m²K, Thermotec panels have a lower U-value than the glazing materials shown above. This means they offer greater resistance to heat transfer through the roof.

By reducing the amount of heat passing through the conservatory roof, Thermotec panels can help limit heat entering during warmer weather and reduce heat loss during colder weather.

The overall comfort of a conservatory will also depend on other elements of the structure, including the windows, doors, flooring and ventilation.

Technical Specifications

Thermotec panels are patented insulated conservatory roof panels supplied and installed by Green Space UK.

What Does a 0.29 U-Value Mean for Your Conservatory?

A lower U-value means less heat can pass through the roof. In practical terms, Thermotec panels are designed to help reduce heat entering through the conservatory roof during warmer weather and reduce heat loss through the roof during colder weather.

This can help make the conservatory easier to use throughout the year, although overall comfort will also depend on the rest of the conservatory structure.

Designed to Replace Existing Roof Panels

Thermotec panels are made to measure and designed to replace suitable existing glass or polycarbonate roof panels while retaining the existing roof framework where possible.

Following a detailed home survey, each panel is manufactured specifically for the conservatory before installation.

You can find out more about how Thermotec conservatory roof panels are made.

More Than Insulation

The insulated construction is also designed to help reduce overhead glare and the sound of rain compared with traditional glass or polycarbonate roofing.
