Eco Friendly Conservatory Cooling and Heating
Conservatories and Sunrooms have long been a popular addition to a home but as we become more and more environmentally aware, they have come under much scrutiny with regard to increased heating bills and energy wastage related to cooling a hot conservatory and heating your winter conservatory.
What many people don’t realise however, is that during recent years, the thermal performance of conservatories has improved significantly.
So how do you control the temperature of your conservatory effectively and economically?
In winter, prevention of heat loss is key and in summer, efforts to keep a conservatory cool can be problematic.
Heating bills aren’t getting cheaper so to be able to perform conservatory cooling or conservatory heating in an economical and environmentally-friendly manner is vital.
Conservatories should not be an expensive addition but a rewarding investment.
Avoid A Cold Winter Conservatory and Hot Conservatory In Summer
Choosing how to heat your winter conservatory is the important consideration whether its new or being refurbished. You want to be able to effectively heat the room but you also want to be able to retain that heat and not lose the bulk of it through the roof and windows. Heat loss in a conservatory or sunroom can render them a useless space for many months of the year, making your beautiful home improvement lose a lot of value.
In the same way, summer months can also write-off your conservatory due to the over-heating of the room. A hot conservatory is not a nice environment to be in. The ‘Solar Control Glass’ that Eco Vitro uses ensures that while heat doesn’t escape when heating your conservatory, it can control the temperature ensuring always your conservatory is always comfortable and pleasant place to be in.
Conservatory Roof Repair To Improve Insulation
Insulation values in the UK are referred to as ‘U’ values. These values provide a means of measuring heat loss. The lower the ‘U’ value, the better the insulation is and therefore, less heat lost. Conservatory roof repair of your existing polycarbonate conservatory roof with our solar control glass will help you lower the 'U' value.
The roof is considered the biggest area of heat loss, and the biggest culprit is heat loss through Polycarbonate roofs. Nowadays developments have meant that you do not need to lose heat through the conservatory roof, or have ongoing high maintenance costs; with a simple conservatory roof repair using glass instead of polycarbonate. One of the unique feature for the heat retention is the laminated glass being filled with Argon gas providing heat loss is kept to a minimum through the glass.
EcoVitro take pride in the low ‘U’ value of their solar control glass roofs so you can rest assured that your conservatory is not a burden on the environment or your pocket.
