How Can You Heat Up Your Conservatory This Winter?

As the winter season continues, you have probably noticed a decrease in the overall temperature. If this is the case and your conservatory isn’t energy efficient, then it could be colder during the winter. In this guide, we will give you some ways that can warm your conservatory up.

It is worth pointing out that while these methods may cost you more, they could make sure that your build is warmer in the long term. Read on to find out more, and if you have any questions, get in touch with the team at T&K Home Improvements today. 

Improve Your Conservatory’s Insulation

One of the main reasons why conservatories can feel cold in winter is poor insulation. Upgrading the glazing of your conservatory with double or triple-glazed glass can significantly improve its thermal efficiency. These types of glass have multiple layers that help to trap heat inside the conservatory, keeping it warmer for longer. Additionally, consider replacing the roofing with more energy-efficient tiled roofs, as a significant amount of heat is lost through the roof.

What’s more, upgrading your conservatory to double glazing or triple glazing could help make your home quieter. Choose from our acoustic glazing, which can help cut out loud noises. The glass has multiple layers but actually looks like a single pane. The layered construction could contribute to a quieter living space. 

Install Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating is a great option for keeping your conservatory warm during winter. It provides even heat distribution throughout the room without the need for radiators, which can take up valuable space. Underfloor heating works by circulating warm water through pipes installed beneath the floor.

Upgrade Your Radiators

If you already have radiators in your conservatory, consider upgrading them to low-level designs that can fit beneath windows or slimline vertical designs. These types of radiators are specifically designed for conservatories and provide efficient heat distribution. Alternatively, you can explore other heating options, such as infrared technology panels, to enhance your home’s comfort even more. 

Infrared heating can help warm a cold room quickly while transmitting light in your conservatory. This type of heating is typically powered by gas or electricity, offering an effective and energy efficient way of combatting heat loss.

Draught Proof Your Conservatory

Draughts can significantly contribute to heat loss in a conservatory. Inspect the doors and windows for gaps or cracks and seal them using draught excluders or sealant. Pay special attention to the areas around the frames and hinges, as these are common areas for draughts to occur. Draught-proofing your living space could help warm it up throughout the year.

Improve Your Conservatories’ Ventilation by Installing Roof Vents

Condensation can often occur in conservatories during colder months. By installing roof vents that can be opened or closed, you can gain more control over the temperature of your conservatory.

Choose Energy Efficient Glass 

At T&K Home Improvements, we offer energy-efficient glass for your conservatory. This glass can help improve insulation and maintain a consistent temperature. But that’s not all. Energy-efficient glass also provides UV protection, so your furniture is less likely to get discoloured. 

Blinds and Curtains Help Let In Natural Light

Finally, a cheaper way of improving your home’s heat is by installing blinds or thermal curtains. These can be ideal at night to keep your space warmer while letting in light during the day.
