So, we thought we’d put one of them to the test and pile as many of the team onto it as possible! Take a look at the video below to see how it held up.
To be fair, they are made from lightweight aluminium and lightweight foam insulation, so we can understand why people may be concerned about their strength!
We managed to stand 12 people on it and it barely moved. That’s about 840kg (or a whopping 1852lbs in old money).
That’s the same as Three Giant Haystacks…or Two 1981 Reliant Robins....…or 1.3 Mark 1 Min Coopers!
So, the answer to the question “How strong are your conservatory panels?” is:
We also get asked quite often if it’s OK to walk on our panels once they’ve been installed. You can see above that the panels will comfortably take the weight of many people, so they will stand the test of time.
We fit the panels to your existing roof frame, so you need to take that into account (as well as several other health and safety checks) before venturing up onto your new roof to clean your upstairs windows etc. Several of our customers tell us they do so regularly, such as John Steege in the video to the right.
