Do you have a conservatory that is far too uncomfortable to sit in for much of the year due to temperature or noise issues? Or are you considering adding a conservatory, but you’ve heard stories that are making you think twice about it? There’s a reason why your conservatory might be too hot or too cold: lack of good insulation, especially conservatory roof insulation. This would be a great investment for you and here’s why:
1. Energy saving.
In the winter, the conservatory can start to feel uncomfortably cold and you might find yourself either avoiding the room altogether or using a lot of power to heat it with an electric heater. And in the summer, it’s too hot, so you use fans to cool yourself down. With insulation, the temperature will be more balanced, keeping the heat out in summer and the heat inside in winter. This means you won’t be using your plug in heaters and fans quite so much.
2. Comfort.
Why bother even adding a conservatory when it’s too hot or cold to sit inside much of the time? It’s there to be enjoyed and sat in. Whether you’re eating a meal in there, enjoying some television or inviting friends around, the added insulation will make the temperature a lot more comfortable and cosy for you.
3. Avoiding damage and mould.
With good insulation, there will be far less condensation and a lot less mould because of this. Mould is not only nasty to look at, but it’s harmful to your health if you’re around it long enough. Condensation is also a risk towards your furniture; you might have some lovely pieces in there, only for it to be damaged by ongoing dampness. By balancing out the temperature, there is less risk of condensation and, thus, less damp.
4. Rain on a glass roof.
The rain is something we can’t avoid, especially in the UK, but what we can avoid is the loud sound of it hitting the conservatory roof. With insulation, this will block out more of the sound and even the traffic on the road will be less jarring. Now you can read your book in relative peace or even just have a moment to think or meditate. Whatever your plans for the room, you can do it a lot quieter.
5. Market value.
Now, maybe you’re not considering selling your home, but having a well-insulated conservatory will mean that you are set up for a better value should you choose to sell in the future. It is never a bad thing to think about this, even if it’s not on the agenda right now. Most people tend to take good care of their home and, even subconsciously, wish to keep it in good condition for selling in the future. Adding a conservatory with a well-insulated roof will go a long way.
Final thoughts.
Honestly, there aren’t really any downsides aside from the initial investment in insulating your conservatory. Yes, it will cost you some money, but it will save you a lot more in the long run. If you look at the CI Group, they can get you set up with some great insulation for your conservatory.
