The Leka System Warm Roof – Conservatory roof insulation
Conservatory roof insulation can only be one thing. The Leka Warm Roof System has been engineered through innovative methods,
highly technical design protocols and practical experience to create probably the best conservatory roof system in the World currently.
Old and new conservatories can benefit from conservatory roof insulation improvements and so the Leka system answers the needs that provide better conservatory roof insulation with the visual aspect to match.
Leka System roof breakdown
Step 1 - GRP Rafters
First, 'Glass Reinforced Plastic' rafters are added to your existing conservatory window frames, including a GRP structural ring beam, rafters and ridge. GRP is not prone to:
- wood worm
- moisture absorption such as traditional timber
- condensation
- thermal bridging such as bulky Aluminium alternatives.
The beginning of your improved conservatory roof insulation.
Note: Box gutter systems are aluminium and vary between supplier. These are not Leka products.
Step 2 - Internal Leka Boards
Next, internal Leka sheets are added underneath the GRP rafters. The Leka sheets are 100% waterproof and one third the weight of plasterboard.
These sheets have unique thermal qualities as well, but allow for a traditional plaster skim finish to provide a nice visual aspect ready for painting afterwards.
For a more traditional cost effective finish, standard 12.5mm plasterboards can also be utilised as part of the Leka ECO range which (in most cases) doesn’t affect our exceptional U values of 0.15.
Step 3 - Celotex Insulation
Insulated Celotex sheets are snugly fitted with a 15mm gap from the internal Leka sheets. Celotex is one of the UK's leading insulation specialists, providing high value thermal efficiency and BBA certified and a significant benefit in achieving a better conservatory roof insulation efficiency level. Note that ECO options of Leka roofs may be provided with EPS polystyrene. Please check with you installation company prior to purchase to discuss your options.
Step 4 - Outer Sheets
Next, strong, load-bearing and insulated outer sheets are added. These ensure less roofing bars and higher efficiency.
Our Leka outer boards have been engineered to offer:
- A structural alternative to plywood
- A significantly lighter alternative to any other roof covering board
- A 100% waterproof outer covering
- A thermally efficient board
The Leka external boards are then covered with breathable membrane to add an additional weather proofing option.
Membrane is laid across the external boards and down into the gutter system to enable a continuous path for rainwater to travel.
Step 5 - Tiling
After a high-grade breathable membrane is fitted, carrying through into the gutter system, a premium Slate or Metal roof tile system is added.
Both Tapco, Britmet and Metrotile offer a classic roof finished tile dependant on your property and required cosmetic look.
These lightweight alternatives to concrete tiles or slate really do make the LEKA systems overall finish stand out as much as the main structures attributes do.

Leka System Orangery Roof Breakdown
Step 1 - GRP Rafters
First, 'Glass Reinforced Plastic' rafters are added to your existing, Orangery window frames, including a GRP structural ring beam, rafters and ridge. GRP is not prone to:
- wood worm
- moisture absorption such as traditional timber
- condensation
- thermal bridging such as bulky Aluminium alternatives.
The beginning of your improved Orangery roof insulation.
Step 2 - Celotex Insulation
Insulated Celotex sheets are snugly fitted with a 15mm gap from the internal Leka sheets. Celotex is one of the UK's leading insulation specialists, providing high-value thermal efficiency and BBA certified and a significant benefit in achieving a better Orangery, roof insulation efficiency level.
Step 3 - Outer Sheets
Next, strong, load-bearing and insulated outer sheets are added. These ensure less roofing bars and higher efficiency.
Our Leka outer boards have been engineered to offer:
- A structural alternative to plywood
- A significantly lighter alternative to any other roof covering board
- A 100% waterproof outer covering
- A thermally efficient board
Step 4 - Outer Weatherproof Coating
An outer weatherproof coating is then applied by your installation company.
This will provide final waterproofing along with a stylish finish, ensuring that your Orangery roof is the ultimate in watertight insulation.
Step 5 - Glass Lantern
A glass lantern is then lowered onto the current structure and fixed into place by your installer.
The glass lantern will allow light to flood through into the Orangery and provide an elegant looking finish.
Step 6 - Fascias and Guttering
UPVC fascias and cappit are now attached onto the edges of the structure.
This then allows guttering to also be attached onto the UPVC fascias cappit as an optional step.
Step 7 - Internal Leka Boards
Next, internal Leka sheets are added underneath the GRP rafters. The Leka sheets are 100% waterproof and one third the weight of plasterboard.
These sheets have unique thermal qualities as well, but allow for a traditional plaster skim finish to provide a nice visual aspect ready for painting afterwards. For a more traditional cost effective finish, standard 12.5mm plasterboards can also be utilised as part of the Leka ECO range which (in most cases) doesn’t affect our exceptional U values of 0.15.
Step 8 - Internal Plaster
The underside of the roof then has a high quality, traditional skim plaster finish applied.
Low energy spotlights can then also be fitted for the best possible interior lighting.
Leka Xi - Modular Conservatory Walls & Base
To complete the Leka suite of products, the Leka Xi can provide a warm, sustainable alternative to a traditional block/brick built conservatory base/wall.
Typically installed on concrete pads the Leka Xi saves time, mess and stress when considering a new build conservatory or single storey extension.
The GRP cladding skins come in a range of colours and offer a sustainable replication of either real brick work, stone or timber. We can even supply external boarding, immediately ready for a plasterer to render directly to.
Typically a conservatory, including the Leka Xi base/wall system, as well as a Leka roof, are installed in days......not weeks. No thermal bridging or moisture absorption due to our GRP lightweight, structurally sound frame work. Thermally efficient to building regulation standards.
Highly engineered, pre-fabricated modular sections, creating comfort that every part of the Xi has been factory tested before delivery. The Xi revolutionises the building market and provides homeowners with multiple benefits.

Leka Xi Module Wall & Base Breakdown
Step 1 - Adjustable Feet
Subject to ground conditions on where the Leka Xi is to be located, typically the supporting feet can be installed upon basic concrete pads. This saves on extensive ground work having to be carried out in most cases.
With adjustable capability the Xi feet can cater for varied floor levels, ensuring an accurate/level finish when completed
Step 2 - Base System Installation
Once a sufficient membrane is laid to the covered ground area, the Leka Xi ‘pre-manufactured’ GRP base system is installed. This includes a floor perimeter beam as well as structurally advanced supporting joists that are complemented thermally with the use of PIR insulation sheets installed in-between them.
Step 3 - Modular Wall System
The benefits of the Xi wall system is its ability to be truly modular. Each and every wall can be requested at bespoke heights and widths to suit your desired living requirement. All pre-manufactured into simple lightweight sections for ease of installation.
Step 4 - Roof Installation
Once the modular Xi framework has been installed it is usual for an appropriate roof system to be installed.
Step 5 - Insulation
High grade EPS insulation is pre-cut to size and installed neatly between the thermally efficient GRP frame work.
Step 6 - Plasterboards & Flooring
Following any window/door installation, the internal energy efficient plasterboards are installed, along with high-grade weightrock flooring. This provides a finish ready for both plastering and preferred floor covering to be applied.
Step 7 - External Finish
Finally the desired external finish is applied. The Leka Xi is very diversified, offering a choice of:
- GRP brick/timber or even stone skin finishes – all quick to install and maintenance free
- or the unique external Leka board that allows a plasterer to apply a wet render coat directly too.
Customers can also apply their own finish if requested.
Fast Installation
In most circumstances the Leka Xi (including any roof system) can be installed and completed in less than a week. No more heavy ground works, mess and weeks of build time.
