Why Choose a Hybrid Roof?
Hybrid conservatory roofs are becoming a popular choice among Gloucestershire homeowners, as they combine both solid panels and glazed sections for the perfect balance of light and thermal efficiency. Unlike a glass conservatory roof or tiled conservatory roof, hybrid systems are inherently flexible, allowing you to choose just how much natural light you would like in your space.

Excellent from start to finish. We really feel we made the right choice with The Little Conservatory Company. We were always able to speak to someone in the office easily if we had any questions. The workers were always very considerate and good to have around. They worked quickly and were there every day even when we had several consecutive days of rain. They were all highly skilled and we couldn’t be more pleased with the finished product. We highly recommend The Little Conservatory Company.

I would definitely recommend Paul and his team. They have done beautiful work. They have changed my door, all my house windows including 2 patio doors and conservatory. Starting from the quote, Paul was really co operative and had vast knowledge about the products and gave me options that would suit my requirements. I had to call him back again and again and he was always able to answer my questions and put me at ease. Paul himself came to take final measurements and suggested few changes in my conservatory. The installer was outstanding with the knowledge and experience of fitting all windows, doors and my conservatory. His work is spotless. I can’t emphasise more enough to recommend The Little Conservatory Company. Keep up the good work!

What Is a Hybrid Conservatory Roof?
A hybrid conservatory roof combines solid panels and glass panels in a single roof structure, allowing you to enjoy the best elements of both. You get the thermal performance and privacy of a solid roof, paired with the brightness and openness of a familiar glass roof, all in a design that’s tailored to your space.
At The Little Conservatory Company, we are proud to install the Livinroof hybrid conservatory roof system from Ultraframe. The Livinroof is constructed from aluminium or insulated composite external panels in a contemporary urban grey finish, with high performance glazing inserted exactly where you want it. The result? A stunning, comfortable room that’s perfect for year-round living in the heart of the Cotswolds.
Is a Hybrid Conservatory Roof Right for You?
A hybrid roof is a fantastic choice for many homeowners, but it isn’t the only option. Here are a few things to consider:
Think About How You Want the Room to Feel
If you love the brightness of a glass conservatory but worry about heat, glare, or thermal performance, a hybrid roof offers a brilliant middle ground. You’ll enjoy plenty of natural light where you need it, with the cosy, room-like feel of a solid roof everywhere else.
Consider Your Conservatory’s Orientation
South-facing conservatories often suffer from overheating with a fully glazed roof, while north-facing rooms can feel dark with a fully solid roof. A hybrid system lets you balance light and shade to suit your home’s orientation perfectly.
Think About Your Lifestyle
A hybrid roof is ideal for homeowners who want a comfortable room they can use every day, whether as a lounge, kitchen extension, dining room, or home office. The insulated pelmet and vaulted ceiling create a stunning, finished space that feels like a true part of your home.
Still unsure? If you’re weighing up your options, our friendly team is always happy to offer honest, expert advice based on your home and lifestyle.
Strong, Safe, and Built to Last
Livinroof has been precision-engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions. U-Design software calculates the worst-case wind and snow loads for your postcode, ensuring your roof has the structural integrity to last for decades, even through the most challenging Gloucestershire weather.
The system has also been independently fire tested as a fully assembled structure by Warrington Fire, meeting all relevant safety standards for complete peace of mind.
Design Options to Personalise Your Hybrid Roof
You Control the Light
One of the most exciting features of a Livinroof hybrid system is the ability to position glass panels precisely where you need them. Whether you want a single skylight above your dining table, a run of glazing along one side of the room, or a shaped glass feature above a kitchen island, the choice is yours.
Shaped glazing can be inserted almost anywhere in the roof, allowing for a truly stunning internal design that focuses natural light exactly where it has the most impact.
Glass Options
The performance glass panels used in Livinroof are available in:
- A range of colours
- A choice of U-values
- Various light rejection and solar control properties
This means you can fine-tune your roof for warmth, light, and comfort to suit your home and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered some commonly asked questions to help you make an informed decision about your home improvement project. If you have any other questions, please get in touch!
Contact UsWhat is a hybrid conservatory roof?
A hybrid conservatory roof combines solid panels and glass panels in a single roof system. It gives you the warmth and thermal performance of a solid roof, with the brightness and openness of a glass roof, all in one beautifully balanced design.
What is the Ultraframe Livinroof?
The Ultraframe Livinroof is one of the most configurable hybrid conservatory roof system on the market. Constructed from aluminium or insulated composite external panels in contemporary urban grey, it allows you to place glass panels almost anywhere for a truly bespoke result. At The Little Conservatory Company, the hybrid conservatory roof system is the Livinroof from Ultraframe. We also install fully tiled conservatory roofs and glass conservatory roofs from Ultraframe.
Why choose a hybrid roof over a fully glass or fully tiled roof?
A hybrid roof is the perfect middle ground. If you love natural light but worry about heat loss or overheating, or if you want the cosy feel of a solid roof without losing too much daylight, a hybrid system delivers the best of both worlds.
Can I choose where the glass panels go?
Absolutely. One of the standout features of Livinroof is the ability to position shaped glazing almost anywhere in the roof. This means you can focus natural light exactly where you want it, whether above a kitchen island, dining table, or seating area.
Does a hybrid conservatory roof need building control approval?
Typically yes. Because a hybrid roof changes the thermal and structural performance of your conservatory, the space is typically reclassified as a single storey extension once installed. This means the project must comply with the latest building regulations and be signed off by building control. Don’t worry, though, our team will handle all of this on your behalf.
Are building regulations the same as planning permission?
No, they’re two separate things. Building regulations cover the safety, structural, and thermal standards of the build, and these will apply to your hybrid roof project. Planning permission is a separate consideration that depends on your property type, location, and whether permitted development rights apply. Properties in conservation areas (common across the Cotswolds) or listed buildings may have different requirements. Our team will guide you through exactly what applies to your project from the very first consultation.
Will I need planning permission for a hybrid roof?
In most cases, no. Conservatory roof replacements usually fall under permitted development. However, if your home is in a conservation area or is a listed building, additional approvals may be needed. We’ll check this for you as part of the consultation process.
