Colours

Who says all conservatories have to be white? At AO we offer a number of different colour options. These options include white and a choice of woodgrain effect finishes in golden oak, mahogany, rosewood and beech green. A woodgrain effect finish enables you to enjoy the aesthetic appeal of a timber style conservatory, but without the associated maintenance requirements - such as the need for regular painting or rot proofing.

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate is a special type of translucent plastic that is used in most conservatory roofs. It has been developed to provide a light, inexpensive and easy to install alternative to glass, whilst still offering similar levels of heat insulation and light transmission to standard double glazing. K2 offers you the choice of 16mm, 25mm or 35mm polycarbonate - with the 35mm option offering the higher level of performance due to its increased thickness.

We offer you the choice of 16mm, 25mm and the exclusive Aspire 35mm glazing system.

The Aspire 35mm system, which is 40% thicker than ordinary polycarbonate provides exceptional levels of thermal insulation, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer, whilst at the same time, reducing sound transmission and unwanted glare. Combined with high performance standards and minimal maintenance the Aspire system offers very real benefits to the homeowner.

Glass

Whilst glass has probably always been most people’s preferred choice for roof glazing, its weight, fragile nature and poor heat insulation/reflection properties used to make it somewhat impractical.

Now all that has changed. K2 has developed a unique range of performance glass specifically engineered for use in conservatory roofs. Known as Celsius, this glass has a unique micro-coating which enables it to deflect excessive heat from the sun away from the conservatory and to reflect heat from inside the home back into the property. In this way, Celsius keeps conservatories warm in winter and cool in summer, helping to create a room for all seasons.

Further benefits include increased sound insulation, a subtle blue tint to minimise glare and a special easy clean coating which reduces the need for manual cleaning. Plus, with Celsius, you enjoy a clear view through the roof and benefit from the feeling of light and space that a glass roof brings.

Ventilation

In today's home, natural ventilation has been all but eliminated thanks to the use of modern materials and construction techniques. This may be good news in terms of draughts and your heating bills, but it's not so great for your conservatory.

The lack of flowing air can cause condensation to build up and it is always worth considering additional ventilation to guarantee maximum enjoyment from your new investment. This could take the form of ceiling fans, or for the ultimate solution, the K2 roof vent.

This vent has been rigorously tested to ensure its ability to offer the highest levels of weather tightness. In fact, it is able to resist leaks even in the face of winds in excess of 50mph and rainfall of almost 5 inches per hour! The K2 roof vent also offers slim sight lines for enhanced aesthetic appeal, an integral drainage system and is available in a number of finishes.
