The Best of Both Worlds with Glass and Tiled Roofing

When the owners of this home decided it was time to replace their old conservatory, they knew they wanted far more than a simple update. Their existing space was no longer working for them, it was uncomfortable, dated in appearance, and not somewhere they could enjoy all year round.

They wanted to create a room that would feel like a natural part of their home: practical, bright, modern and, most importantly, a space they could be proud of. Thanks to Horizon Conservatories and the flexibility of the Ultraframe range, the result is a stunning new extension that combines both a glass roof and a solid tiled roof in one seamless design.

A clever 2-in-1 roof design

One of the key features of this project is the way two Ultraframe roofing systems have been used together to create the perfect living space.

Over the dining area, the homeowners chose an Ultraframe Glass Roof to flood the room with natural light and create a bright, open feel. Over the living area, they opted for an Ultraroof, giving the space a more solid, cosy feel while still allowing light to flow through the extension.

Designed around the homeowners

From the roof configuration to the doors, windows and overall layout, the homeowners were impressed by the level of choice available through Horizon Conservatories and Ultraframe. The finished design features large grey bi-folding doors, helping to create a strong connection between the new living space and the garden. The result is a sleek, contemporary extension that feels open, stylish and practical for everyday family life.

The New Heart of the Home

Since completion, the new extension has completely changed the way the family uses their home. What was once an unusable conservatory has become a large, sociable kitchen, dining and living space that can be enjoyed throughout the year.

This impressive installation shows just how effective a carefully planned combination of glass and tiled roofing can be. By bringing together the light-filled benefits of an Ultraframe Glass Roof with the comfort and solid feel of an Ultraroof, creating a beautiful, practical extension that truly works for modern family living.

The homeowners explained “The space has changed our day-to-day life. We now have a large kitchen space, dining area and living room which we can use throughout the year. It has become the epicentre of our home and the focal point of our family time. Hosting events is more sociable, and we find ourselves spending more quality family time together during meal times.”

"The customer service from our installer was second to none. I cannot recommend Horizon Conservatories enough. They were great from start to finish."

“Their open and transparent pricing system was a breath of fresh air compared to other companies. Their knowledge and expertise meant the planning and building stages ran very smoothly.”
