Are Homeowners Becoming More Knowledgeable About Home Improvement Solutions ?
The surge in the home improvement market , particularly in areas of conservatory roof replacements and the introduction of hybrid systems like the SkyVista , suggests a growing consumer interest in high-quality , energy-efficient solutions . This trend could imply that homeowners are becoming more informed and discerning about their choices , seeking solutions that offer both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits , such as improved thermal performance and usability of their living spaces throughout the year .
From a wider perspective , more knowledgeable homeowners could be seen as both a challenge and an opportunity for installers .
On one hand , installers may face higher expectations regarding product knowledge , installation quality , and service . On the other hand , informed homeowners who understand
|
the value of high-quality improvements could be more willing to invest in superior solutions , potentially leading to more business for skilled and reputable installers .
Homeowners are also more knowledgeable of clad over issues . Although they are a quicker , cheaper option , they will not meet Building Regulations , and cause costly issues in the long-term .

How Are You Finding Market Conditions Currently ?
The current market conditions for the conservatory and roofing industry are reflective of extensive economic challenges . The UK is still navigating the aftermath of the pandemic , with the economy significantly impacted and the country facing a cost-of-living crisis . Homeowners are consequently reassessing their spending priorities to adapt to fluctuating prices .
This suggests a cautious but opportunistic landscape for businesses in the conservatory roof and lantern market , as homeowners look for cost-effective , energy-efficient solutions for home improvements .
2024 has been a great year so far for SupaLite , and we ’ re looking forward to finishing the year strong .
