RETHINK YOUR EXISTING CONSERVATORY
Insulated where it matters. Open to the sky where you want it.
Livinroof is a hybrid conservatory roof: solid insulated sections and glass work together in one system. Instead of covering every part of the room with glazing, you can place daylight above a dining table, beside a seating area or near the house to help light reach the adjoining room.
A tailored balance of light
Explore full-length or shaped glazing alongside solid panels. The final layout considers the sun, privacy and the room beneath.
Designed for your home
We assess the existing frames, base, structure and access before confirming whether a replacement roof is the right route.
TRY YOUR IDEAS
Design your Livinroof.
Enter your approximate sizes and explore the roof outside and in. Compare panel materials, glass layouts and roof shapes, then try an evening scene with lighting.

TWO PANEL MATERIALS
Aluminium or UTEC composite?
Livinroof is available with aluminium-faced sandwich panels or UTEC composite external panels. Both are options within the Livinroof system; the panel choice is one part of the complete roof specification.
Aluminium-faced panels
A metal-faced external panel for a contemporary grey roof. Compare a physical sample and the complete installed specification when choosing your finish.
UTEC composite panels
A composite external panel alternative within the Livinroof range. Ask us to compare it with aluminium for your roof design and budget.
Finish illustrations are indicative. Your written quotation confirms the panel material, insulation build-up, glazing and internal finish.
MAKE DAYLIGHT PART OF THE DESIGN
Glass in the places that make a difference.
Full-length panels bring a clear line of light into the room. Shaped glazing can follow the roof geometry, opening up selected areas of the vaulted ceiling. A largely solid design gives you more coverage overhead.
We help compare glass tint, solar control, heat retention and light transmission for your room’s orientation. Ask about self-cleaning glass and roof ventilation when we plan your specification.
Glass colour alone does not tell you its performance. Glazed areas, roof geometry and the overall room specification need to be considered together.
A ROOF THAT FITS YOUR SPACE
From a simple lean-to to a shaped conservatory.
Hipped / Edwardian
A practical rectangular footprint with sloping roof faces. Explore a balanced arrangement of grey panels and roof glass.
Victorian & gable
Follow a faceted Victorian bay or create the height and glazed front of a gable design. The designer shows both outlines.
Lean-to & bespoke shapes
A single-slope roof suits many spaces. P-shaped, T-shaped and other combinations are individually designed; ask us to assess your existing layout.
Ultraframe lists Livinroof designs with pitches as low as 5°. Suitability, drainage and the connection to your home are checked for your project.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Livinroof conservatory roof FAQs.
What is the difference between Livinroof and Ultraroof?
Livinroof combines contemporary grey insulated panels with optional shaped glazing. Ultraroof has a tiled external finish. Both can create a plastered vaulted interior; the right choice depends on the appearance and daylight you want.
Can you replace my existing conservatory roof with Livinroof?
Often, but we need to survey the frames, base, condition and structural support first. We confirm the work needed and discuss any upgrades before finalising your quotation.
Are UTEC and aluminium panels both available?
Yes. Livinroof offers UTEC composite external panels and aluminium-faced sandwich panels. Ask us to compare the complete specifications and prices for your project.
Can I choose where the glass goes?
You can explore full-length and shaped glazing in selected parts of the roof. We develop a layout around daylight, orientation and the room below, subject to the roof design and technical assessment.
Will the room be warmer in winter?
Insulation and a plastered ceiling can improve comfort compared with a tired roof, but windows, walls, floors, ventilation and heating also matter. We assess the room as a whole rather than promising a fixed temperature or saving.
Do I need planning permission or Building Regulations approval?
Requirements depend on the existing building and proposed work. We discuss the relevant planning and Building Regulations route for your project before work starts; a replacement solid roof should not be assumed exempt.
Can I add lighting and Bluetooth speakers?
Yes, these can be discussed as optional electrical additions. The internal pelmet provides a useful place to plan recessed lighting and speakers, with cabling and fitting positions agreed before finishing.
Where does Spectrum install Livinroof?
