The winter months can be harsh and unforgiving and when the weather turns cold, the first thing people do, is put their heating on. To allow heat to move around the house, it is important to ensure that all rooms are heated correctly and are well insulated so that your home stays warm throughout.

Cold conservatory

One room in the home that gets particularly cold during winter is the conservatory. It’s not designed like other parts of the home so it does not have thick insulation in the walls or roof. Glass and polycarbonate roofing are not only prone to losing heat but they also allow cold air in which can mean a very cold and unusable space during colder weather.

Close off conservatory

For many, a conservatory is not an addition to the property but instead a part of the home. This will, however, mean that the cold air can work its way around the house and severely reduce the temperature of the rest of your property. Closing off the conservatory during the winter can help keep your home warm though not habitable.

Conservatory heating

In order to heat up a conservatory, it requires constant heating in order to keep the temperature stable. Portable and electric heaters can be a good way of keeping the space warm though it can be expensive. They can also pose a risk as they could potentially over-heat so they should not be used for extended periods of time.

Permanently warm conservatory

Looking for a long-term solution can often be a better plan to ensure that your conservatory remains warm during winter months.
