| Aspect | Glass Conservatory Roof | Polycarbonate Conservatory Roof |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal Efficiency | Superior thermal insulation, retains heat effectively | Less effective insulation, may result in higher energy consumption |
| Natural Light | Allows maximum natural light penetration | Can diffuse light, creating a slightly dimmer ambiance |
| Longevity and Durability | Longer lifespan, less prone to warping and damage | Prone to warping, discoloration, and damage from weather conditions |
| Maintenance | Requires minimal maintenance | May require more frequent cleaning and upkeep |
| Cost | Higher initial cost, but may be more cost-effective in the long run | Lower initial cost, but may incur higher energy bills and maintenance costs over time |
Glass conservatory roofs offer superior thermal efficiency, longevity, and durability compared to polycarbonate roofs. However, they typically come with a higher initial cost. Depending on your priorities and budget, you can choose the option that best suits your needs.
