Multiwall glazing engineered for comfort
Our polycarbonate panels use a multiwall structure with internal air chambers that trap warmth in winter and reduce heat build-up in summer. With thickness options from 16mm to 35mm, there's a specification suited to every conservatory size and aspect.

Impact-Resistant for Lasting Peace of Mind
Polycarbonate is virtually shatter-proof, making it a robust and secure roofing choice for your home. Its high impact resistance means it stands up to harsh weather and accidental damage without cracking or breaking.

Why Polycarbonate is a Smart Roofing Choice
Polycarbonate has been the go-to roofing material for conservatories for decades – and it’s easy to see why. It’s significantly lighter than glass, meaning less structural load on your conservatory frame and a faster, more straightforward installation process.
Modern multiwall panels offer genuine thermal performance, with thicker 25mm and 35mm options providing meaningful insulation for year-round use. Add UV protection as standard and you have a roof that protects your furnishings and keeps your space comfortable across every season.
A Budget-Friendly Roofing Option
If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to complete your conservatory, polycarbonate roofing is a great place to start. It’s one of the most affordable options on the market, while still offering excellent light transmission, good insulation and a long-lasting finish. Lightweight, durable and easy to maintain, it’s a popular choice for homeowners who want quality without the higher price tag.

For conservatories, 25mm or 35mm multiwall polycarbonate is recommended. Thicker panels provide better insulation, improved acoustic performance and greater rigidity across larger spans.
A well-installed polycarbonate roof typically lasts between 10 and 20 years, depending on the quality of the panels, UV protection and how well it is maintained over time.
Yes. Polycarbonate roofing is generally considerably more affordable than glass, making it a popular choice for homeowners who want a quality finish without a large upfront investment.
Modern multiwall panels trap air between internal chambers, helping to retain heat in winter. For optimal thermal performance, consider a glazed conservatory roof or a solid roof system.

We have had an outstanding service from Malbern, dating back to 2014 when they built my conservatory, over the intervening years when we needed a small bit of maintenance under the guarantee, and most recently when they have replaced the glass roof with a solid roof, transforming the original design. This has given us a brilliant new room in 2024 and made our house feel much more spacious and better insulated. The build team took care of the whole process, doing a very professional clean and tidy job. I can't recommend more highly!

Just completed a full conservatory build and all we can really say is that we are extremely amazed at the quality of the end result. Fantastic, brilliant, overjoyed, perfect, better than expected. After the initial meeting we had a picture in our mind of what we wanted but the end result is so much better than expected. We certainly can't complain, it is a job well done and money well spent. Now it's time to enjoy the final end result. A massive thank you to all involved.

Malbern recently built us a large conservatory and a garden room. This was a massive job involving levelling a terraced garden and putting in retaining walls in addition to the conservatory and garden room construction. They did a fantastic job, all the work was done to a high standard and any snags were quickly dealt with.
