Roof Shape and Design
Although the Leka Conservatory Roof System has a number of important and highly engineered layers, the finish outside and inside is still very important.
The Leka System has been engineered in such a way that any existing conservatory design or shape can be replaced/installed with the Leka System Lightweight Tiled Roof.
The Leka Roof solves the challenge with a lightweight GRP construction and engineered tiles, which weigh around 12kg per square metre in Tapco slate, and 9.9kg per square metre in Metrotile concrete. There’s no aluminium or timber in the Leka roof. The ring beam, rafters and ridge are all made from glass reinforced plastic.
Using glass reinforced plastic allows for a structurally tested and far lighter alternative to aluminium and timber to create a truly lightweight conservatory roof. The weight of the Leka roof depends on the size of the construction but the average is just 30-40kg more than the equivalent glazed roof. In most cases, the existing structure of a conservatory can bear the weight. This is determined prior to construction.
