Summer Savvy: Keeping Your Conservatory Comfortable And Cool

Summer Savvy: Keeping Your Conservatory Comfortable and Cool

When summer arrives, some older conservatories can quickly become sweltering, leaving you longing for a cool and relaxing space.

However, with a few practical measures, you can ensure that your conservatory remains comfortable even in the heat of the season.

Fortunately, Orion’s conservatories have been designed to be used throughout the year, whatever the weather.

Choose a solid roof or glass roof with solar control

Consider installing a solid roof as a reliable solution. Unlike traditional glass or polycarbonate roofs, solid roofs provide excellent insulation, minimising the amount of heat that penetrates the conservatory.

By effectively reducing the heat transfer, solid roofs keep the space cooler during hot summer days while improving energy efficiency.

If you prefer the allure of a glass roof, Orion offers solar control glazing options that regulate the temperature inside the conservatory. This allows you to enjoy breath-taking aerial views and abundant natural light without compromising on comfort.

Request bi-folding doors built into the design

Bi-folding doors are another fantastic addition for temperature control in your conservatory. These doors are specifically designed to maximise natural ventilation and encourage better airflow throughout the space.

When opened wide, they create a generous opening, inviting fresh air to circulate and effectively cooling down the conservatory.

Furthermore, bi-folding doors seamlessly connect your indoor and outdoor living spaces, creating an airy and versatile environment.

Ceiling fans, windows and plants

In addition to these features, it’s crucial to ensure proper ventilation in your conservatory. Install ceiling fans or windows that can be opened to promote air circulation and maintain a cool atmosphere.

You can also introduce potted plants or greenery to naturally cool the space. Through transpiration, plants release moisture into the air, helping to reduce the overall temperature and create a more refreshing ambiance.
