Here's why you should insulate your conservatory roof

If you're lucky enough to have a conservatory, we think you should be able to use it all year round. Unwind with a good book in the winter, enjoy a garden view in the spring, listen to your favourite music in the autumn or entertain friends in the summer. Sound ideal? We agree. But with a glass or poly carbonate roof, you may never have a functional, comfortable conservatory.

It's time to use your conservatory for more than just storage. Read on for more information about how conservatory roof insulation can transform this space into the most favoured room in the house – all year round.

Do you really need conservatory roof insulation?

 

This is a valid question. Perhaps you're worried about the expense of hiring a professional to insulate your conservatory ceiling, or maybe you think insulating the roof will change the look and layout of your conservatory. Before making a decision, consider the following:

• Is your conservatory unbearably hot in the summer?

• Is your conservatory unreasonably cold in the winter?

• Can you sit in the conservatory when it's raining and carry on a conversation without having to shout?

• Do you find yourself closing off the room when the temperature is too hot or too cold?

• Are your utility bills significantly higher when the conservatory is in use?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, conservatory roof insulation is the solution you have been looking for.

How can an insulated conservatory roof help?

There are significant benefits to conservatory roof insulation.

First, you'll get immediate temperature regulation. Insulation prevents heat loss during the winter and in the summer. An insulated conservatory ceiling also means no more greenhouse effect when the sun beats down on the roof. You will have a comfortable, usable living space at any time of year.

Conservatory roof insulation can help reduce your energy costs significantly. An insulated ceiling cuts down on drafts and maintains a more consistent temperature in the room, which means you will no longer need to adjust your thermostat to compensate for the conservatory’s effect on the rest of the house.

Sound insulation is another key benefit. Ever try sitting in a glass roof conservatory on a rainy day? The sound of the rain pounding on the ceiling can be deafening. An insulated conservatory roof absorbs noise much better than glass, so you can enjoy your room no matter the weather.

In terms of looks, an insulated conservatory roof makes the room feel like a true extension of your home. You can paint or plaster it, and the ceiling will be much easier to clean and maintain than a traditional glass roof.

As you can see, it makes good sense to consider conservatory roof insulation. From cost savings to energy efficiency to aesthetics, there really is no comparison!
