Bespoke conservatories can be amazing additions to the home, but one thing many people struggle with is keeping their conservatory at a comfortable temperature year-round.
Winter often leaves your conservatory chilly and cold, whereas the summer sun can leave it feeling a little too warm.
While there are obvious choices such as installing heaters or air conditioners, this doesn’t always work. There are several ways you can keep your conservatory at a comfortable temperature whatever the weather.
The most efficient way to heat your conservatory is not by using traditional radiators and heaters, but by opting to use underfloor heating instead. This heats the room from the ground upwards and can help to keep it at a consistent temperature.
Underfloor heating may be considered an investment to begin with as installation costs can be expensive, however, it is one of the most energy-efficient forms of heating and can be used year-round.
Using additions such as draught excluders and rugs in your conservatory can also help to fend off the chill and keep the space cosy and comfortable.
In the summer, the sun can heat your conservatory and you may be left with a space that feels a little too warm to enjoy. Investing in a good air conditioner can help to prevent this.
Whether it’s a standing unit or is built-in, an air conditioner can help to keep the air in the room cool so it doesn’t overheat. This may not be the only answer, though.
Using light, airy blinds or curtains to prevent heat retention and opening windows as much as possible can help to keep the temperature down. If you are worried about leaving windows open, investing in netting to cover the open window but still allow airflow is a great option.
