Glass Conservatories
 


Glass Roofs

Windsor Conservatories use one of the finest aluminum roofing systems available. Benefiting from advanced engineering solutions, each Windsor Conservatory roof incorporates perfect geometry, increased strength and additional weather sealing. The Windsor Conservatory roof offers a superb engineering solution to complex roof designs with outstanding aesthetic appeal and long-life durability.

Developed over the past 15 years, this aluminum roof system offers innovations and technical advances beyond the scope of other conservatory roofing systems. With choices such as forged aluminum crestings and decorative finials, all powder coated with a high gloss polyester paint, we can guarantee they won't fade, crack or warp—whatever the weather throws at them.

The interior of the roof is enhanced with superior aesthetics incorporating decorative trims and covers to provide a refined elegance. Custom moldings and decorative corners are available to complete the overall finish.

Externally, the superior engineering incorporated in the roof system ensures excellent weather sealing, with no visible mechanical fixings—an aesthetical, and potential sealing problem area, common with other roofing systems available. Integral flashing trims and channels provide a positive sealing point with flashing from the house, ensuring a watertight connection to the main property.

All Windsor Conservatory roofs are supplied with complete rainwater drainage systems including gutters (troughs), downpipes and fixing brackets. These can be designed in to meet the particular site drainage requirements or can be eliminated if not required.


 Glass Roofs

For larger span conservatories or conservatories installed in areas that experience high wind and snow loads, Windsor incorporate a portal frame into the design to support the roof load. This portal frame is an aluminum sub-frame which is polyester powder painted for a durable long lasting finish.

Available as an option on all Windsor Conservatory roofs is the addition of operating roof vents. These vents are fully thermally broken and tested to a 300 pascal weather rating. They can be controlled either manually or with a thermostatically controlled motor and come with a removable vent with a fail-safe mechanism for access and cleaning.

Technical Details

Rotafit
Glass Conservatories Rotafit is an engineered solution with a patented twist and lock action. This simple yet innovative solution dramatically cuts installation times and improves weather sealing with a reduced reliance on silicone sealants. The cast-tempered aluminum section is capable of achieving up to an 8 tonne stress loading and 4 tonne pull testing.
 
Jack Rafters
Glass Roofs The jack rafter features precise factory fabricated sections which create positive locations for all fixings. In addition by choosing to glaze with a square glazing stop, the design provides a precise platform for the jack rafter cappings to align to.
 
Twin Fast
Glass Conservatories Twin Fast is a quick and simple fixing solution for glazing bars that provides positive location every time. Twin fast glazing bars simply slide into place and the inbuilt spacers create the perfect glazing plane.
 
UniEaves
Glass Roofs The one-piece UniEaves beam significantly reduces installation time and supports variable pitches of between 22° (5:12) and 30° (7:12). UniEaves has been engineered to provide the correct load position without mechanical fixings which simplifies the installation process and reduces the amount of time spent on site.
 
Ridge Options
Glass Roofs Utilizing the same design principles as the UniEaves, the ridge requires no mechanical fixings. Able to accommodate 32mm (1-1/4”) thick insulated glass units, the variable ridge option is capable of achieving up to a 37° (9:12) pitch.
 
Valley Detail
Glass Conservatories With a dedicated glazing stop the aluminum valley eliminates glazing slip often associated with other systems.

The pitch of the valley wings cans be varied by up to 15° which means that the valley can accomodate a much wider range of design styles.
