As the temperatures drop, many homeowners find that their conservatory becomes too cold to use comfortably. If you’ve ever avoided your conservatory during winter, you’re not alone. Older conservatories, especially those with outdated glass or polycarbonate roofs, often struggle to retain heat. The good news is that with a few smart upgrades, you can transform your conservatory into a cosy, year-round living space.
1. Upgrade to a WARMroof Conservatory
One of the most effective ways to improve conservatory insulation is by installing a WARMroof system. Unlike traditional glass or polycarbonate roofs, a WARMroof features multiple layers of insulation, breathable membranes, and a solid tiled finish.
This design helps to:
- Retain warmth during winter months.
- Reduce noise from rain and wind.
- Maintain a comfortable, consistent temperature all year round.
A WARMroof conservatory can increase your home’s energy efficiency and add value to your property. Available in a range of finishes and styles, it’s a great way to modernise your space while keeping heating bills lower.
2. Check for Draughts and Seal Gaps
Even the smallest gaps around your conservatory doors and windows can let in cold air. Inspect the seals, hinges, and frames for wear or damage. Replacing or repairing seals is a quick, cost-effective way to improve thermal performance and stop heat from escaping.
3. Add Insulated Blinds or Curtains
If replacing the roof isn’t an option right now, insulated blinds or thermal curtains can make a noticeable difference. They help trap heat inside the conservatory and prevent cold air from seeping through the glass. Integral blinds, fitted within the glazing, are another stylish and low-maintenance option that helps with light control and insulation.
4. Layer Up with Rugs and Soft Furnishings
A few design touches can make your conservatory feel warmer instantly. Adding thick rugs, cosy throws, and cushions helps insulate floors and create a more comfortable, inviting space. Choose warm colours and textured fabrics to enhance the feeling of warmth.
5. Consider Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors
Upgrading to A-rated double or triple glazing ensures your conservatory retains as much heat as possible. Modern uPVC and aluminium frames provide excellent thermal efficiency, helping you save on energy costs throughout the colder months.
