2. The Challenge

Conservatories offer an excellent way to bring the outdoors in, creating a light-filled space perfect for relaxation or entertaining. However, traditional roof materials often lack proper insulation. This was the case for the Ringwood homeowners. Their beautiful conservatory became a battleground against the elements – cold in winter and uncomfortably hot in summer. This rendered the space unusable for most of the year, making it a frustrating, underutilised area. The owners desired a solution that would provide:


  • Comfortable temperatures all year round

  • Enhanced energy efficiency

  • Durability and long-lasting results


Finding an insulation method that could address these issues while maintaining aesthetic appeal was crucial.

3. The Solution.

The innovative CorkSol spray cork coating solved the thermal challenges faced by the Ringwood conservatory. This material was selected for its outstanding insulation properties, aesthetic versatility, and long-lasting durability. The CorkSol spray cork comes with a 25-year warranty, ensuring the conservatory remains comfortable and energy-efficient for many years.

Why CorkSol spray cork for conservatory roof insulation?

CorkSol spray cork is a revolutionary material that combines the natural benefits of cork with advanced technology to provide superior insulation and aesthetic appeal. Here’s why it was the perfect solution for the Ringwood conservatory:


  • Exceptional Insulation Properties

    CorkSol spray cork has excellent thermal insulation qualities. It keeps the heat inside during winter, making the conservatory warm and cosy. In summer, it prevents excessive heat from entering, maintaining a relaxed and comfortable environment.

  • Eco-Friendly

    Cork is a sustainable material harvested from the bark of cork oak trees without harming the trees. Using CorkSol spray cork aligns with eco-friendly practices and reduces the carbon footprint.

  • Breathable and Water-Resistant

    Cork's breathable nature prevents moisture build-up, reducing the risk of mould and dampness. Its water-resistant properties also protect the conservatory from weather-related damage.

  • Durability

    The spray cork is highly durable, resistant to cracking, and can withstand various weather conditions. A 25-year warranty backs its longevity.

  • Aesthetic Flexibility

    CorkSol spray cork is available in various colours, matching any design preference. For this project, Arctic White was used inside to keep the space bright and airy, while Charcoal was applied on the outside to provide a sleek, modern look.

  • Sound Insulation

    CorkSol spray cork also offers excellent sound insulation, reducing noise from the outside and creating a quieter, more peaceful indoor environment.

4. The Renovation Process.

The renovation process was meticulous and efficient, ensuring the conservatory would be ready for use in just one week. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:


  • Preparation

    The first step involved thoroughly cleaning the conservatory roof to ensure optimal adhesion for the spray cork.

  • Priming

    A specialised primer was applied to enhance further the bond between the existing roof surface and the spray cork.

  • Gap Filling

    Any minor gaps or imperfections in the roof were meticulously filled to create a smooth, uniform surface for the cork application.

  • Spraying the CorkSol

    The final stage saw the skilled application of CorkSol spray cork in three layers, creating a robust and effective thermal barrier. We used Arctic White CorkSol spray cork on the inside and charcoal spray cork on the outside of this conservatory roof.

5. The Ringwood Conservatory Roof Insulation Project. Summary.

Thanks to the transformative power of spray cork insulation, the Ringwood conservatory has finally unlocked its full potential. No longer a victim of temperature extremes, the space is now a comfortable haven enjoyed throughout the year. With its superior insulation properties, the conservatory is now a delightful retreat, perfect for relaxing with a good book on a crisp winter day or enjoying a summer evening with friends and family.
