Conservatories might be designed for allowing the maximum amount of light into them and while they may be generally very relaxing spaces, this doesn’t always mean they’ll be warm. In fact, when it comes to the colder months of the year, your conservatory can become a very chilly place. Underfloor heating is a great way to heat your conservatory and ensure it’s a cosy place all year round.

Space saver

Wall space is not something you will have an abundance of with a conservatory and even conservatories with a full-length wall design will only have limited space, meaning that radiators might not always be an option. Underfloor heating has the benefit of not taking up any space in your conservatory at all because it’s right under your feet.

Heat flow

Because heat rises, there’s less chance of you loosing heat through the glass windows of the conservatory. With an underfloor heating system, you’ll get a more even heating flow throughout the whole conservatory.

Flooring choices

Your choice of flooring will also influence your heating. Natural stone and ceramic tiles are the best flooring for maintaining heat, but a good underfloor heating system will work with just about any surface. If you add a rug to your conservatory floor, this can also help you maintain the heat for longer.

Conservatory insulation

Even with underfloor heating’s better flow of heat, it can’t be denied that conservatories will be a difficult room to keep heated for long as they are mainly made of glass. This means if you want your conservatory to stay warm and cosy you’re going to need to make sure it is insulated well.

The best way to do this is to work from the top, which means the conservatory roof. A solid roof is the best kind of roof for your conservatory if you want to ensure it is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. A conservatory roof replacement can convert your existing roof into a solid, tiled one using lightweight tiles so as not to harm the structure of the conservatory framework.

Combining underfloor heating with a solid conservatory roof will provide a cosy space in your home, perfect for cold evenings. To find out more about replacing your roof, get in touch with Metrotile by calling us on 01249 658 514 or fill in our contact form.
