Conservatories

Which location?

Are you a morning or an evening person? Apart from the obvious practicalities of space and access, where you position your conservatory can have a dramatic effect on its character and uses.

 

East facing will catch the morning light and warm up quickly in the early sun but will not overheat in the middle of the day or evening.

 

West facing is definitely for dinner and sunset lovers, picking
up the sun from late afternoon onwards. Plants love it too.

 

North facing catches only angled sun at the beginning and
end of the day — and none in winter months — so it will keep
cool in summer but may need plenty of heating the rest of the
time.

 

 

 

South facing will suit the most dedicated sun worshippers
but be careful! ‘Nith direct sun through the hottest part of
the day, ventilation is a must and blinds are worth considering
too.


You will also need ventilation on sunny but chilly days when condensation can be a problem, especially if you have a solid floor such as tiles on concrete. In extreme cases, it can also cause warping of wood floors and mildew on wall coverings.
