Conservatories

Many roofs have built-in trickle ventilation and Building Regulations specify a certain area of opening windows per floor area. Technological developments mean that you can even have opening roof vents installed that can be thermostatically controlled with built in rain sensors. We will be happy to advise you on this.

Almost every window lock has a ‘night-vent’ setting, which allows you to lock it in the slightly open position. It’s a good idea to set a couple this way, if not fully open, on hot days in a sunny conservatory.

A place in the shade

Blinds can help to minimise overheating through sunshine. They can also reduce fading of furniture and decor, keep plants from dehydrating and give you extra privacy. Many styles, including venetian, are readily available, some specially designed to fit roof panes.

A touch of green

Most plants love conservatories; they bring colour and life to any space and of course help to keep the air fresh. Some plants need lots of sun but others need partial or total shade.

Just read the label when choosing houseplants for the conservatory or ask expert advice.

Also remember, if you are not planning to use the conservatory much in the colder months, it is a useful space for over-wintering tender pot plants from the garden or patio.
