Having a home that’s comfortable to live in all year round is essential, as it should be a space that offers you ultimate relaxation no matter the weather. If you have a house that suffers from being too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer, it can ruin your mood and deter you from completing certain tasks. The conservatory is a room that can be optimised to provide you with a comfortable retreat where you can take a break from both the outside world and the chaos of the rest of the house.
In this guide, we will explore how you can upgrade your conservatory to improve its comfortability and keep it warm in the winter and cool in the summer, as you perfectly balance the temperature. Keep reading to learn more.
Conservatory Upgrades
C.H.R.I.S. Technology
One of the latest technologies to take over the home renovation world is the C.H.R.I.S. System by CI Group. This provides high-quality conservatory insulation that will keep your conservatory at a balanced temperature throughout the entire year. It’s made up of several layers, including true aluminium foil to keep your conservatory cool in the summer by reflecting 95% of direct sunlight, thermowadding membrane to create an air pocket to slow down heat gain/loss and vapour control membrane to prevent dampness and condensation. The first two layers are then repeated to give your conservatory a lovely blanket.
SkyTherm Roof
Conservatories are often made up of glass for the walls and then a roof to cover your space. However, an upgrade you can make is getting an orangery roof lantern installed to give yourself a glass roof, so that you can feel more connected to the outside world while in the comfort of your own home. The SkyTherm roof is a version of this type of roof that also gives you enhanced energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Tiled Roof
Conservatory roofs are often boring and lack sleek design qualities that make them one-of-a-kind. Getting a tiled roof for your conservatory will look amazing and can work well with timber, aluminium or PVC-u rafter roofs, so you don’t need to worry about losing your quality. Composite slate tiles and internal insulation should be used that is high quality, affordable and can completely transform your conservatory into a stylish and comfortable living space.
Lighting Improvement
Upgrade from a single centre pendant light that sticks to the middle of your roof and often looks ugly. Instead, make sure to install LED spotlights in a new insulated pelmet or use dramatic pendant lighting over a dining or seating area to make the room feel less like a conservatory and more like a main living space. This makes your conservatory a more versatile room, as you can then use it for various different activities throughout the day.
Final Thoughts
When you have a home extension like a conservatory, it offers you unlimited potential when it comes to giving you a space that you can use all year round. Forget about the cold or hot climate making you uncomfortable, as conservatory insulation techniques and improved roofing can give you a room that is the ideal temperature all the time.
