Information on Solar Inserts

What They Do Solar inserts with their integral solar protection prevent up to 80% of the suns’ solar energy from entering the conservatory through the roof, helping maintain a comfortable internal temperature. The roof will also reduce glare by 80%, further increasing comfort levels. In winter, most of the heat lost escapes through the roof; with a solar inserts roof a large proportion of rising heat is radiated back into the room, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature.
