  • Are conservaroties more costly than extensions?

    What is a self-cleaning glass conservatory roof?

    What are self-cleaning glass conservatory roofs? What does it mean for them to 'self-clean' exactly? And are they much more expensive than regular glass roofs for a conservatory? I guess I'm mainly curious to know if they're worthwhile. Thanks!
