Smart Poly
Today's homeowner wants more from his/her conservatory. It is now seen as an extra room to be used seven days a week, 365 days a year, whatever the weather. However, as many owners can testify, a conservatory can become almost unusable on hot sunny days because of solar heat gain, and uncomfortably cold in winter because of heat loss. This is because up to 80% of the sun's solar energy passes directly through a standard polycarbonate conservatory roof, creating a 'greenhouse effect' inside, rendering the room too hot for use.
Increased comfort
SmartPoly (Polycarbonate) is one of the glazing options we offer for your conservatory roof. Its integral solar protection, it prevents up to 80% of the sun's solar energy from entering the conservatory through the roof, helping to maintain a comfortable internal temperature.
SmartPoly will also reduce glare by up to 86%, further to increasing comfort levels in the conservatory. In winter, most of the heat lost escapes through the roof; with a SmartPoly roof, a large proportion of rising heat is radiated back into the room, helping to maintain comfortable temperatures and reducing heating costs. SmartPoly rejects 99% of harmful UV rays.

Zero maintenance
Smart Poly is an integral part of the conservatory and so requires no additional cleaning or maintenance. It will provide effective solar protection for the lifetime of the polycarbonate. There is no need to install expensive internal roof blinds (so there will be none of the cleaning problems associated with dust or dead flies) and the light, roomy feel of the conservatory is maintained.
Strong and durable
Smart Poly combines strength and durability with excellent thermal insulation, while the high impact resistance of the material ensures long life. An integral ultraviolet light filter prevents the polycarbonate from yellowing with age and maintains opal clarity. The micro-thin polyester solar protector is highly reflective but allows natural light to penetrate, so the conservatory remains bright and airy.
Create a new look
With two colour combinations and four colour choices, Smart Poly provides options to create your own ambience. Choose standard silver for maximum light penetration into the conservatory or add a blue or green tint to your roof, or selec gold for maximum heat and glare rejection. Whatever your choice, SmartPoly will capture generated light at night to provide feelings of greater comfort in addition to providing effective solar control and lower energy costs.
Advanced Technology
SmartPoly is available in silver, gold, blue or green. and the conservatory outlet is the first to offer Smart Poly with the new Signo easy-clean coating.

   
Unlike traditional methods of climate control - which try to dissipate heat once it has built up within the conservatory - Smart Poly reflects the sun's heat, preventing heat gain from becoming a problem. The integral solar shield uses advanced , ultra-clear micro-thin metalised polyester exclusively manufactured by Tec-Sun, Europe's largest supplier of solar inserts for polycarbonate. Tried and tested throughout the UK, SmartPoly brings new levels of comfort and energy efficiency to your conservatory - so you can use it every day.
Smart Poly is available from Conservatory Outlet, and all recommended companies.
