Conservatories don’t always have the best reputations. They are very much known for being boiling hot when it’s sunny, and far too cold to use comfortably in winter. However, they are a very good way to extend your home and give you more space, so it’s always worth seeing if you can get more use out of it. Here are some ideas:
- Good insulation. Have well insulated walls, especially the brickwork that is around the glass panes. This will really help.
- Make the roof better insulated. Much of the heat escapes from the roof, and equally, much of the sun will come in from the roof and make the room hot. Better insulation will work to improve both of these issues.
- Have blinds installed. This is a good solution for the summer as it will provide you with shade inside the conservatory. This will give you some respite from overpowering sun.
