Why Insulating Your Conservatory with a SkyTherm® Roof is the Smart Alternative to a Costly Extension

If you have an ageing or underused conservatory, you might be wondering whether it’s worth knocking it down to build a brand-new extension or orangery. But before you commit to the expense and disruption of a full rebuild, there is a smarter, faster and more cost-effective solution that gives you the same high-end look and feel: the SkyTherm® Roof from CI Group.

This innovative orangery-style roof conversion, combined with our independently tested CHRIS® insulation system, allows you to transform your conservatory into a beautiful, modern and energy-efficient room you can enjoy all year-round.

  • A stunning orangery-style appearance
  • Exceptional thermal performance
  • Fast and hassle-free installation
