Blake & Howes specialise in Icotherm insulated, tiled conservatory roofs, transforming conservatories into proper home extensions.
Conservatories have remained a firm favourite with homeowners for decades, and it’s easy to see why. When people start to feel short of space, obvious alternatives might include moving to a larger property or investing in a full extension. But, for many these days, a conservatory with an insulated tiled conservatory roof offers a far more practical and appealing solution.
Moving house is often the most disruptive and expensive solution when seeking more space. Estate agent fees, stamp duty, legal costs and the general upheaval can all quickly take their toll. On top of that, there’s no guarantee you’ll find a property that ticks every box in the right location. For homeowners who are otherwise happy where they are, relocating can feel like an unnecessary compromise.
A traditional extension, while effective, can also be a major undertaking. Building work can take months, often bringing noise, mess and disruption to daily life. Planning permission will certainly be required, costs can escalate, and the process can feel overwhelming for those looking for a simpler way to gain extra space.
This is where conservatories come into their own. They offer a relatively quick and cost-effective way to expand your home without the same level of disruption. In most cases, they can be installed with very few planning hurdles, making them a more straightforward option for homeowners who want results without a lengthy building project.
Another key reason for the popularity of conservatories is the unique atmosphere they create. A conservatory brings in an abundance of natural light – even when a tiled conservatory roof in installed – and provides a strong connection to the garden, making it a pleasant space to relax, dine or entertain. It adds a different dimension to the home, somewhere that feels open and airy compared to traditional rooms. Flexibility is also a major advantage. A conservatory can be used in countless ways, from a second living room to a home office, playroom or hobby space. As needs change over time, the room can easily adapt, making it a long-term investment rather than a single-purpose addition.
Of course, modern expectations mean that comfort is key. With improvements in design and materials, particularly when combined with an insulated, tiled conservatory roof system, conservatories can now be enjoyed throughout the year, making them an even more attractive alternative to moving or extending.
