Keeping A Conservatory Cool – Tips On Doing It

Conservatories are perfect summer spaces, at least they are if you have a design that’s thermally efficient enough to cope with the hotter weather, otherwise it’s hard to keep cool in it.

Visual’s many living spaces, not just our conservatories, are purposely made to be year-round locations.

Can’t keep the heat out of your conservatory or hoping to buy a conservatory now or in the near future? Follow our steps towards making a conservatory a space fit to use across the entire summer months.

Solid Roof Installation

Without a thermally insulating roof, it’s very difficult to prevent a conservatory from overheating. Removing your old glass or polycarbonate roof to exchange it for a solid roof will vastly enhance insulation and reduce excess solar gain.

The internal temperature will be far more manageable and you won’t even notice how hot it is outside.

Not all glass roofs cause conservatories to feel sweltering hot inside. Visual’s glass roof system comes with solar control glazing for the exact purpose of minimising heat transference, and it provides an immersive aerial view.

Bi-Folding Doors

Reliable temperature control can also be achieved with the help of a bi-folding door. This form of feature door will give you a huge opening to filter in air from the outside that will then naturally circulate around the space.

It will become the coolest room in the house on occasions like this and a location that you just cannot get enough of.

The distinction between the indoors and outdoors will be more blurred each time your bi-folding door is left open, extending your living environment into the garden.

What Else Can You Do?

To gain any additional ventilation, open your windows at every opportunity and look to get a ceiling fan fitted that you can switch on to stay cool.

Putting a few plants in your conservatory can help too as they naturally release moisture into the air, cooling the indoor atmosphere – transpiration is the word used to describe this process.

Employ any of these measures and we can assure you that they will have the desired effect of making your conservatory cool for summer.
