Aluminium conservatories stand out for their sleek and modern appeal.
Beyond aesthetics, a conservatory in aluminium is thermally efficient, long-lasting and durable, which altogether makes aluminium a very popular material choice for those looking to build a new conservatory.
Aluminium conservatories have become more competitive with popular alternatives, such as UPVC and timber, thanks to their improved thermal break technology that prevents heat loss, which allows you to better control the temperature of your conservatory.
Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is a durable thermoplastic that makes a more affordable alternative to glass roofs since they come with varying degrees of transparency. This means you can still enjoy some natural light for far less than if you were to install a glass roof.
However, considering the thermal efficiency of aluminium, a polycarbonate roof may not actually be a great fit since it is a poor temperature regulator, letting warm air escape over winter, and the hot sun to enter over summer. Since most heat escapes through the roof, this effectively cancels out the high thermal performance of your aluminium frames.
Let's take a look at some of the main advantages and disadvantages of aluminium polycarbonate roofs:
Pros of polycarbonate roofs:
-
Cost-effective
-
Easy to shape and install
-
Design options
Cons of polycarbonate roofs:
-
Poor temperature regulator
-
Unattractive appearance
-
Poor outside noise insulator
Glass
Glass conservatory roofs offer a stylish and elegant touch to any home, especially when paired with aluminium frames. The combination of glass and aluminium creates a modern and sleek aesthetic whilst maintaining a high level of thermal performance across its lifetime.
Slimline aluminium frames in particular, alongside a glass roof, will open up the space and let in the most natural light. This is perfect for those looking to create a sunroom effect to grow plants and enjoy on sunny days.

A solid-tiled roof will also outperform its polycarbonate and glass counterparts in terms of thermal efficiency and temperature regulation year-round. With some aluminium frames, you can be sure that your conservatory will never drive up your energy bills for as long as it stands.
However, in terms of aluminium conservatory roof cost, solid tiles will cost considerably more than alternatives such as polycarbonate and glass.
