Conservatories are very relaxing spaces, whether you use yours as a reading room, a platform to view your garden, a space to relax or maybe use your conservatory for its traditional purpose which was to grow plants.

Whatever you use it for, there is one common problem with conservatories that can make them uncomfortable rooms to be in. That problem is the noise from the rain, it might not seem like it at first, but conservatories can be very noisy places due to their exposure to the elements.

This is always partly going to be a seasonal issue, but we all know that the spring and summer months in the UK aren’t immune to seeing periods of more wet and/or wintery weather. But the problem of a noisy conservatory is going to be much more noticeable during the autumn and winter.

Rain and the wind are going to be your main problems but there’s always the added risk of hail in the UK as well. And while there’s no way to stop outside elements making noise completely, you can make your conservatory a much more relaxing and quieter space that you can actually enjoy and spend time in a number of ways.

Fighting Back Against The Noise

If you want to enjoy your conservatory throughout the year then you’re going to need to think of a way to combat the noise. Thankfully, in order to make that easier for you, we have picked out two of the best methods that we would recommend below.

Conservatory Blinds

Conservatory blinds come in a number of different styles and they will all help reduce the noise caused by the weather to some degree. Pleated blinds are generally one of the best types of blinds on the market when it comes to reducing noise, especially from the rain, and as an added bonus they’ll also help with keeping heat in during the winter as well.

You will in the majority of cases have to get your blinds installed by a professional firm and even with a small conservatory this can be very expensive. There’s also no way to know for sure till they’re fitted how effective they’ll be when it comes to reducing noise.

A Roof Conversion

A roof conversion might sound like a rather over the top solution but it will help you reduce the noise caused by the weather and is sure to be much more effective than blinds. If you have a polycarbonate or glass roof on your conservatory then the noise caused by the weather will be much louder and noticeable.

Having your roof converted into a solid tiled roof will reduce the noise and give you plenty of other benefits as well. A polycarbonate or glass roof can be converted into a tiled roof and at Metrotile our solid roof conversion service guarantees high-quality results. Dealing with the weather is part of any conservatory experience but you don’t have to let the noise it makes stop you from enjoying it.

We hear from lots of people who don’t use their polycarbonate or glass conservatory for large parts of the year. The reasons range from the room being too hot or too cold to occupy or too noisy to even hold a conversation at points! Our suggestion is always to look at a solid conservatory roof conversion using Metrotile’s lightweight roof tiles.
