Useful Hints and Advice

When considering the use of your conservatory it would be useful to bear the following points in mind.

If facing north good insulation and heating will be required.

If facing south additional ventilation and shading will be necessary. If sun glare is felt to be an issue conservatories can be fitted with roof blinds or shaded polycarbonate.

An east facing room makes an ideal breakfast area- benefiting from the morning sun.

West facing conservatories are ideal for making the most of the afternoon and evening sunshine.

For correct ventilation conservatories should have at least 15% of their floor space given to opening windows, doors and roof ventilation.
