Conservatories are a great addition to any home, creating an alternative space for you to relax and unwind in. With the recent spike in energy costs, finding ways to keep heat in your property are more important than ever.
Solid Roof
If you have an old conservatory, it’s best to check the roof. You don’t need to replace your entire conservatory if you think that it has lost its ability to retain heat. A new roof can be fitted! Options available include a glass roof, a lantern or a solid tiled roof.
Choosing the right roof for your conservatory can come down to not only personal taste, but thought on whether you want to increase the property value of your home. A tiled roof replacement is the roof type that will increase the property value of your home. This option is also good if you want to increase privacy, in comparison to using clear glass.
Windows & Doors
As well as replacing the roof of your conservatory, you may want to look at the condition of the windows and doors too. If there are any gaps that need sealing, this will create draughts and affect the temperature of your conservatory. Making sure that all gaps are sealed correctly will ensure a desired temperature is kept.
Insulation
Finding the right insulation for your conservator will ensure that it keeps to a good temperature throughout all seasons of the year.
Thermal Blinds
Thermal blinds can make a great difference to your conservatory’s temperature. These can keep heat in the Winter and block it out during the summer months.
Thermal Wadding
Thermal wadding alongside the use of aluminium foil are both effective in emitting and absorbing any heat within the space. The aluminium foil acts as a heat reflector, insulating the space.
Floor Insulation
A high percentage of heat can be lost through the floor, so insulating this is a great idea to reduce the amount of heat lost. Floor insulation can also reduce your home’s carbon emissions. Additionally, you can also get underfloor heating installed, ensuring you and your home are kept warm.
