Whilst no roof installation is the same, an average Icotherm roof upgrade is completed within 2-3 days. The roof is secured and weather-tight on the same day in most cases.

The Icotherm roof is specifically designed to be ventilated. It also has a low U-value due to the fact that it is built from timber, which has low thermal conductivity, and approval in a low condensation risk analysis.

Icotherm roofs are fully compliant with building control regulations. It is recommended that you check with your local building office to determine whether or not consent is required. As a leading timber design system the Icotherm Roof is approved by building inspectors, thus simplifying the building certificate application process.

When compared to a glass roof, the Icotherm roof is only slightly heavier. In keeping with government guidelines, ensure the structure shows no sign of distress and that the existing foundations are adequate to carry the additional weight. In addition it is also important to check that existing windows and door frames are reinforced suitably.

The Icotherm Roof can be bespokely designed, offering customers a range of both internal and external finishes, to provide a matching solution for your home.

A tiled roof will ensure you lose the permanent glare and hot/cold spikes. A small reduction in light will follow, but you can opt to have Velux® windows fitted to compensate or opt for an Icoview roof with full glass panes incorporated.

The Icotherm roof structure is strong enough to stand on, providing all Health and Safety procedures are followed. Although we do recommend the use of a board or suitable covering to protect the tiles.
