Solar Inserts
Solar inserts are manufactured to a unique technical specification and are designed to be fitted to 99% of all Conservatories with Polycarbonate roofs.
Conservatory Cool: Cooler in summer - As many owners can testify, a conservatory can become almost unusable on hot sunny days because of solar heat gain. Solar inserts are an effective solution to this problem.
Conservatory Heat: Warmer in winter - In winter, most of the heat lost escapes through the roof, with solar inserts, a large proportion of rising heat is radiated back into the room, helping to maintain comfortable temperatures and reducing heating costs. Solar inserts are an effective conservatory heating solution.
No Maintenance: Forming an integral part of the conservatory, Solar Inserts require no additional cleaning or maintenance.
DIY or Installation: Solar inserts will fit easily into any polycarbonate roof panels for your conservatory, sun room, greenhouse, garden room, even your swimming pool enclosure. Whether you DIY or use our fitting service is up to you.
Tried and tested, solar inserts, also known as solar foils, film inserts, foil inserts, solar reflective tape, reflective roof inserts, solar foil, conservatory roof film and conservatory roof inserts, are the most purchased solar control product in the world!
