Roof design options Guardian roof provide standard warm roof solutions for existing conservatory roof design. Bespoke solutions also available. Edwardian

Lean-to

The Classic Sunroom shape. Together with attractive roof windows the Edwardian Guardian Roof is the traditional safe bet for styling and convenience. The Edwardian shape also helps to maximise the room space below. The roof is very sympathetic to all house styles as its ridge is so versatile, it can also be the perfect solution to a Bungalow extension.

The Guardian Lean-To is ideal to maximise space at the back of the house. The ends can either have one or to hips (slopes). It is ideal for kitchen extensions and can go as low as 15 Degrees with roof windows.

Victorian

Gable ended

The Victorian roof can also work really well when you might not have as much space in the garden as you would like. The internal plaster finish on the roof can look really attractive with its facet front finish.

The gable ended main feature is its continuous height it brings to the room owing to its long ridge down the centre. The gable also allows you to get the most from your roof windows giving you a light and airy space. Suitable for replacement or new build. 4000mm

What you need to know The Guardian Warm Roof Conversion System has been designed to provide a high performance thermal and structural solution with zero condensation risk over the life of the roof.

LABC approval

Each of these elements has been fully tested and approved by independent industry experts to evaluate thermal performance, structural performance, condensation risk and quantify energy savings. The Guardian roof best practice approach has enabled the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) to certify the Guardian Roof System as a LABC Registered System.

In some cases the Guardian roof conversion would be exempt if it was at ground level, does not exceed 30m2 floor area, be thermally separated from the building it is attached to, have an independent heating system from the main building and have glazing that meets Part N in the critical zones.

AECOM modelled a typical house with a standard “Victorian 12’ x 12’” conservatory.

Kingspan Insulation condensation risk analysis

The conservatory was northward projecting with an electric heating system. A future energy price forecasts was accounted for under the “Green Stimulus” price forecast that yielded a saving of £5,447 after 25 years. The key conclusion drawn from this evaluation is that the greatest benefits from installing the “Guardian” roof are made when it is retrofitted, as a result of the greater difference between the U-values of the original roof and the new roof type.
