My other half is dead set against using Polycarbonate on our proposed
conservatory on the basis that it looks 'nasty'.  Its planned to be about 3
x 3.6m with a brick wall on one side, we face north west but more west than
north if that makes sense.
I am worried that glass will get too hot in the summer and may not insuulate
as well in the winter.

Does anyone have any experience of the various solar/sun/tinted glasses
available or indeed do I have any need to worry in the first place about
extreames of hot and cold.

We have a polycarbonate roof on our conservatory and it looks OK
However the conservatory did tend to get too hot in the summer so we fitted
he reflecting strips along each cavity with the result that the dazzling
effect has been cut down and the temperature is now reasonable. Also its
warmer in the winter.
Supplier www.polycool.co.uk It is an excellent product and can be fitted by
yourself.
I am surprised that the manufacturers of Polycarbonate do not supply their
product with this extra fitted
