Choosing livin roof

Put the glazed areas where light matters

Rather than treating the roof as a single surface, compare where solid and glazed areas sit above the room. Think about a dining table, seating and the light passing through to the house.

The proposed design must suit the conservatory beneath it. Assessment of the structure, dimensions and connection to the house comes before confirming a replacement roof.

What affects the quotation?

Roof shape and size, the glazing layout, structural work and ceiling finish affect a Livin Roof quotation.

What happens at the survey?

Discuss the light you want to keep and assess the existing conservatory before comparing possible roof layouts.

Before installation begins

Agree the panel and glazing arrangement, internal finish and any supporting work, with the schedule discussed for your specific roof.

Questions before you decide

Livin Roof: your questions

Is Livin Roof entirely solid?

The system combines solid panels and glazing. The arrangement should be designed around the room and the light you want to retain.

Can it replace my conservatory roof?

It may be an option, subject to assessment of the existing structure and the proposed design.

What else should I compare?

Compare Smart-Roof and Real Roof options alongside a glazed roof, considering daylight, appearance and the complete installed scope.
