Replacing Warped Cladding and a Glass Conservatory Roof in Hatchwarren, Basingstoke

Introduction

A homeowner in Hatchwarren, Basingstoke reached out to Excellent Windows in need of durable, year-round solutions for their conservatory and home exterior. The property had been fitted with poorly installed PVCu cladding that had warped under extreme temperatures, as well as a glass conservatory roof that caused significant discomfort – overheating in the summer and freezing in the winter. Our goal was to replace the warped cladding and outdated roof to restore both the home’s appearance and functionality, providing a modern, energy-efficient solution.

The Problems

The existing PVCu cladding had buckled due to fluctuations in temperature, resulting in an unsightly and weakened exterior. Additionally, the glass conservatory roof contributed to extreme temperature swings, making the conservatory uncomfortable and nearly unusable during the summer and winter months. The homeowners wanted a permanent, low-maintenance solution to these issues.

The Solutions

Excellent Windows replaced the warped PVCu cladding with anthracite grey cement board. This modern, weather-resistant material is perfect for handling the extreme temperatures we now experience, as it doesn’t warp and requires no maintenance. The sleek, contemporary look of the anthracite grey cladding also gave the home a fresh and updated appearance.

For the conservatory roof, we installed an insulated tiled roof to replace the old glass panels. This upgrade transformed the conservatory into a space that could be comfortably used throughout the year, providing excellent thermal efficiency while also reducing glare and external noise. The new roof will allow the homeowners to enjoy their conservatory no matter the season, turning it into a fully functional extension of their living space.

Outcome

The homeowners were thrilled with the results from Excellent Windows. The anthracite grey cement board cladding gave their home a sleek, low-maintenance exterior that will withstand the test of time. Meanwhile, the insulated tiled conservatory roof not only improved energy efficiency but also made the conservatory a comfortable, all-weather space they could use year-round. With these improvements, the homeowners now enjoy a modern, energy-efficient home in Basingstoke that looks great and functions even better.
