SnugCore™ Ceiling System
Plasterboard Ceiling Finish
A real plasterboard ceiling you can paint and decorate — engineered beneath your existing conservatory roof.
More Than Insulation — A Complete Room Conversion
This is a finish option within the SnugCore™ Ceiling System. It is not a sheet of insulation stapled to your roof. It is a professionally engineered, multi-layered ceiling system designed specifically for conservatory roof applications.
Every installation follows a precise build-up sequence — timber subframe, high-performance insulation, and a solid plasterboard ceiling — delivering the same finish, feel, and thermal performance as any room in your home.
How It Works
Engineered Timber Subframe
Precision-cut timbers are fixed directly to the existing conservatory roof structure at 400mm centres, creating a rigid framework that supports the entire ceiling system without altering the roof itself.
High-Performance Multifoil Insulation
Our high-performance multifoil insulation is fitted between and across the subframe timbers, delivering exceptional thermal retention while remaining lightweight and slim in profile.
Plasterboard Ceiling
Lightweight 9.5mm plasterboard is professionally fixed to the subframe, creating a smooth, solid ceiling surface identical to the rest of your home.
Finish & Decoration
Joints are taped and filled. The ceiling is left ready for decoration — or upgraded to a full plaster skim finish for a flawless painted surface.
Why Choose the Plasterboard Finish
- Exceptional thermal retention — keeps heat in during winter
- Solar heat regulation — reduces overheating in summer
- Significant acoustic dampening — dramatically reduces rain noise
- Plastered ceiling finish identical to the rest of your home
- No external roof work required
- No structural changes to the existing roof
- Installed beneath the existing roof — no scaffolding or weatherproofing concerns
Ideal For
- Homeowners who want a genuine 'real room' finish
- Conservatories being converted into dining rooms, home offices, or living spaces
- Anyone who wants to paint, wallpaper, or decorate the ceiling
- Those who value a premium, long-lasting transformation
