Treated battens are carefully attached to each glazing bar, having been pre-drilled to eliminate the risk of the battens splitting.
The first set of battens are fitting to all glazing bars, in this case a Single Hipped Edwardian ready for the Low-E to be fitted – this gives us the first 35mm Air Gap.
The breathable Low-E insulation is initially stapled to the first set of battens – along with the depth of the glazing bars this gives us a perfect air gap of 35mm.

Once the entire roof space is insulated with Low-E overlapping area’s or joins are taped with Fire Rated A special tape to seal the entire roof space.
In our opinion the most important batten is the bottom batten – this one ensures all joins line up perfectly, it also adds tremendous strength to your conservatory and adds years of life.
The rest of the battens are then fitted, all being custom made to measure on site. These battens securely hold the Low-E insulation in place and create the second air gap of 25mm.
We use ‘Starter Trim’ to ensure that the cladding perfectly lines ups, is fully supported by the bottom batten and gives a beautiful perfect edge to the finished look.
To create the prefect fit, we carefully measure each angle. This is to make sure the corners meet neatly allowing for a perfect fit.
The UPVC panels are fitted, each one is securely attached at each batten to make sure of no sagging. They have an overlap so that if there is any expansion or contraction they don’t ‘pop’ out.
The importance of correct air gaps cannot be over stated. Using the Low-E insulation and treated timber battens, this gives us the perfect sized air gaps to provide the optimum insulation.
The edges are cut so they perfectly align, then are filled with silicon and covered with a flexible corner trim. This gives you a beautiful finish and look.
Once the entire ceiling has been cladded, corner trim is added. We use a two step fitting system which ensures that the trim will not drop or sag. To date we are proud to say we have never had any trim fall or sag.
If the conservatory has a ridge, at this stage the cover is fitted complete with fittings for lights / fans as needed. This is the final trim to be added to finish the internal cladding and completes its beautiful look.
If there was a ceiling fan or lights, these are removed prior to the installation. Once the installation is complete, lights and fans are replaced – many customers use this time to clean or change their existing light.
Using a special UPVC cleaner we painstakingly clean the entire newly insulated and cladded ceiling. During this process we inspect every square inch of the ceiling making sure its 100% perfect and blemish free for you.
Our unique finish – we fill every single joint, every single panel and down every single edge strip. We leave no gaps for dust and spiders to gather. Look carefully at the next photo and see none of those black holes!
We call our system the Perfect Finish for Conservatory ceiling insulation. No other company were aware of, finish every single joint and gap the way we do. Once you see the perfect finish, nothing else will do.
