How long will it take to install a SupaLite conservatory roof?
SupaLite conservatory roofs usually take from three to four days to install.
Will my conservatory be darker with a SupaLite tiled roof?
No. The large glass areas of the walls will still admit an abundance of natural light. You can also add Sky Vista glass panels into a SupaLite tiled roof to increase natural light intake.
Do I need to wait for fine weather conditions to install a conservatory roof?
No. Tiled conservatory roofs can be installed all year round in any weather conditions.

What is the minimum pitch for a SupaLite roof?
The minimum pitch for a SupaLite roof is generally 10 degrees. These lightweight, insulated roofing systems are commonly used for conservatories and other extensions. The 10-degree pitch ensures effective water runoff and structural integrity, while also complying with building regulations. SupaLite tiles are fully registered and meet stringent UK and European standards, making them suitable for roofs with this minimum pitch.
Do I need building regs for a pitched roof?
Building regulations approval is required if you are entirely replacing your roof or converting a flat roof to a pitched one. Your roof design must account for the loads it will need to support, including joist sizes, spans, and calculations for any steel beams. You must provide details of the roof covering, ensuring the pitch is suitable for the selected slates or tiles, and specify the roof insulation and the method for draining and dispersing rainwater. Compliance with these regulations ensures structural integrity, energy efficiency, and proper water management.
