High-Performance Flat Roof System for Conservatories & Extensions

WarmerBeam is a precision-engineered timber flat roof system designed for conservatories, extensions and suitable retrofit projects. The lightweight roof construction combines C24 timber I-Beams, integrated insulation and EPDM waterproofing to provide a coordinated roof system for trade installers.

Manufactured to a defined project specification, WarmerBeam brings the structural framework, thermal components and weatherproofing together as a single roof system. Structural options are available for different roof sizes and requirements, with the system designed to provide a practical installation solution without relying on extensive on-site adaptation.

The roof can also be specified with the S1 Aluminium Roof Lantern where additional natural light is required. For retrofit projects, WarmerBeam can be used when upgrading existing conservatory roofs, subject to assessment of the supporting structure and individual project requirements.

Exceptional Thermal Performance

We engineer every roof to deliver exceptional thermal efficiency, helping conservatories stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Engineered Timber Strength

We build every roof around high-performance structural I-beams manufactured from C24 timber for exceptional strength and durability.

Ideal for Retrofit Projects

Our lightweight roofing solution installs easily onto existing frames, making it ideal for conservatory upgrades and retrofit projects with minimal disruption.

Flat Roof System for Conservatories

WarmerBeam is designed for conservatory projects where a lightweight, insulated flat roof is required, including new installations and suitable replacement projects. The engineered timber construction can be specified around the requirements of the existing or new supporting structure, subject to the appropriate structural assessment.

For conservatory roof replacements, WarmerBeam provides an alternative to retaining an existing glass or polycarbonate roof, with insulation and waterproofing incorporated into the engineered roof construction. This makes it suitable for installers upgrading existing conservatory structures where a modern flat roof solution is required.

Flat Roof System for Extensions

WarmerBeam can be specified for single-storey extensions where an insulated, engineered flat roof is required. The timber construction provides a defined structural framework that can be designed around the dimensions and requirements of the individual extension project.

Structural options are available for larger roof projections and spans, allowing the roof construction to be specified around the requirements of the extension. The system combines the structural framework, insulation and waterproofing within a coordinated roof specification for trade installation.

S1 ROOF LANTERN

Create a greater sense of space with the WarmerAluminium S1 Roof Lantern. Its slim contemporary profile maximises natural light while complementing both modern and traditional properties.

We designed the external rafter cappings and slimline ridge to create a cleaner, more refined appearance than bulky traditional roof lantern systems, giving homeowners more sky and less visible framework.

Frame Colour Options

7m

MAX EXTERNAL PROJECTION INCLUDING 400MM OVERHANG

Now even Stronger!

The I-Beam 300 timber I-Joist beams, which consist of C24 timber with a 10mm particle board web, can reach roof projection spans of max 7 meters without the need for additional support. The I-Beam 300 is lighter than conventional timber trusses and steel, ensuring less pressure on the supporting walls and frames.

durable EPDM rubber membrane

WarmerBeam flat roof systems are finished externally with a durable EPDM rubber membrane, providing a long-lasting, low-maintenance weatherproofing solution for conservatories and extensions.

  • Simple and easy to install
  • Little to no maintenance
  • Exceptional durability

FAQs – Flat Roof System

Can the WarmerBeam system be installed directly onto existing conservatory frames?

Yes. The WarmerBeam system is engineered to be lightweight, spreading loads evenly across existing frames and support structures. It is designed specifically as a low-disruption retrofit solution for older glass or polycarbonate roofs.

How does the system comply with Building Regulations?

Our timber roof kits are structurally tested by independent engineers to surpass standard thermal (U-value) and structural requirements across England and Wales. Full structural calculations and span tables are available upon request for submission to Building Control.

What is the WarmerBeam flat roof system?

WarmerBeam is a precision-engineered timber flat roof system for conservatories, extensions and suitable retrofit projects. The system combines engineered C24 timber I-Beams with insulation, structural decking and EPDM waterproofing, with additional components and options specified according to the individual project.

How quickly can a WarmerBeam roof be installed?

WarmerBeam is supplied as a pre-engineered, made-to-measure kit with components precision-cut for the individual project. This helps streamline installation on site and reduce labour time. Our current manufacturing turnaround is typically 5 days, subject to project requirements and confirmation.

What is the maximum span possible without adding extra structural support?

Our standard system achieves a maximum projection of up to 5.5 metres. For larger projects or grand extensions, we offer the I-Beam 300 upgrade. This advanced timber I-joist uses C24 timber with a 10mm particle board web, allowing roof projection spans of up to 7 metres, including a 400mm overhang, without the need for additional internal supports or bulky steel beams.

How does the S1 Roof Lantern integrate into the roof?

The roof is specifically engineered to integrate with our slimline WarmerAluminium S1 Roof Lantern. The kit includes a fully insulated lantern upstand to maintain thermal efficiency. Its ultra-slim profiles and discreet external rafter cappings help maximise natural light while creating a sleek, contemporary “more sky, less roof” aesthetic.

Can a flat roof be used to replace a conservatory roof?

Yes. WarmerBeam can be used for suitable conservatory roof replacement projects where the existing structure and supporting frame are appropriate. Its lightweight construction makes it particularly suitable for retrofit applications, with the system designed to minimise disruption during installation.

What type of insulation is used in the WarmerBeam roof?

The WarmerBeam kit incorporates pre-installed honeycomb insulation together with foil-faced insulated plasterboard to create a high-performance thermal envelope. The lantern upstand is also insulated to help minimise thermal bridging around the roof lantern.
