Homes in Worthing
Which roof makes most sense in Worthing?
With around 219 hours of July sunshine, summer heat is the bigger problem in Worthing. A solar control glass roof (£3,950 to £7,900 here) keeps the light and cuts the glare, but a lightweight tiled roof (£8,350 to £13,650) or a hybrid roof does far more to stop the room overheating. Blinds and films help with glare but not much with heat. Tiled vs glass roofs.
