At Select Products, we supply conservatories for homes in Leeds and the surrounding areas. Conservatories can get cold over time, and with energy bills rising, it is important to keep them thermally efficient. But how do you do that? In this article, we will give you tips on how to warm up your conservatory.

If your conservatory has a glass or polycarbonate roof, these materials don’t regulate the temperature very well because they let in cold air. They are not very good for insulating as they let the glare in from the sunlight, causing problems all year round. In winter, warm air gets lost easily, while in the summer, the room will be too hot, causing unbearable temperatures. But that’s not all, because the UV rays can cause damage and discolour your furniture.

However, there are plenty of ways to make your conservatory warmer. For instance, upgrading your conservatory walls from glass to double glazing plays a big part in this. Our advanced double glazing features a robust thermal barrier that traps natural heat indoors and leaves cold air outside, which will help save money on your energy bills. Moreover, it floods natural light into your home, ensuring you will save money on your electricity bills.

Another way of regulating the temperature in your home is to replace your polycarbonate or glass roof with a solid or tiled roof. These roofs keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, while your home becomes quieter when the weather is rainy or windy. This will make you want to spend more time in your conservatory. A tiled roof is lightweight and versatile because it is suitable for any property. These roofs are very easy to install, and you can enjoy them for much longer with quick lead times. And, they will keep the temperature warm inside your home so you can use it all year long.

If your home has large windows and side doors, you will get plenty of natural light from the side, while a solid roof can support skylights. You can even upgrade your conservatory to an extension because it offers plenty of versatile options. If you want to convert your conservatory into an office space or a gym, then your ambitions can be realised with an extension. A significant advantage of an extension is that it will increase your home’s market value because an attractive space will entice a potential buyer. So, with this in mind, you can sell your house for more than you originally bought it for.

 

Additionally, choose low emission glass, which is both resilient and energy saving. It will cut your energy bills drastically and keep warm heat inside your doors. This will increase the comfort and make your family snug all year long.

In addition, you can replace the doors with uPVC French doors, which come with large panes of glass. This will give you stunning amounts of natural light, which will, in turn, make your home much warmer in the long run. Another way to insulate your conservatory is to install underfloor heating, increasing the conservatory’s warmth in winter. It comes with a wet system which circulates hot water in pipes or a dry system where pads of filaments are heated using electricity. This method is very efficient in the long term because your home will be warmer for longer. Unlike other methods, the heat rises from the floor, directly passing you and your furniture.

Choose a hybrid roof which is created bespoke to your needs. This is an ideal replacement for glass because it gives the best of both worlds. You will benefit from powder coated aluminium roof panels and glass panels which give you plenty of insulation, saving money on your energy bills as it lets plenty of sunlight in. And, what’s more, you will get a comfortable temperature that lasts a long time.

You can also install a wall mounted electric heater in your home that can be controlled manually all year round. This will help you stay in control of your energy bills because you can regulate your heating bills more easily.
