Polycarbonate Roof - Clear or Opal

[lewes]

Im looking to convert my lean-to into a office/summer room and replace the roof with a 25mm Polycarbonate roof. The area is only about 6 sq M so not massive.

But do I go CLEAR - maximum light but also let more heat in




or OPAL - reduced light and reduced heat.

Clear is a no-no , opal is better , heatguard is the best , grey outside heat reflective and white opal inside.

The heatguard makes the conservatory / lean to much more usable if the sun is shining on the roof for any length of time. If it's alwyays in the shade opal will be fine.

Bronze would be my choice.

I went with Opal on my lean-to and am really pleased with it. It still lets in plenty of light but no sun glare and makes it look more like a proper room.
