The UK is world famous for its beautiful landscape however all too often we are not able to appreciate it as the weather outside is too cold and we are cooped up inside trying to keep warm. By adding a conservatory to your home you can enjoy your garden and the landscape beyond whilst being in the warmth and comfort of your home. If you have a passion for exotic plants a conservatory will also allow you to grow many species which will not survive outside in the harsh UK climate.

Modern conservatories however are used for far more than just growing plants they are treated as part of the home and can add much needed extra living space. Conservatories can be used for a variety of purposes including a playroom for the kids, a study to allow you to work from home, an extra living area great for entertaining or a dining room fantastic for summer evenings.

Conservatories come in every shape and size imaginable meaning there is something to suit every home. Obviously the size of your conservatory will depend on how much space you have available and your budget. However research shows that in homes with conservatories already installed they are the third most used room in the house. Therefore it makes sense to install the largest conservatory possible.

When it comes to choosing what material to build your conservatory from there are several options including aluminium, timber and uPVC. Over recent years uPVC has become by far the most popular as it is the most affordable, durable and requires very little in the way of maintenance compared to timber framed and aluminium conservatories.

Once you have chosen what material you want the frame to be built from you next need to consider the glass. You should always ensure that safety glass is used and although single glazing may be the cheapest option it is probably false economy as it will make your conservatory very expensive to heat. Double glazing is a much better option in the long term as it acts as an insulator and is far better at keeping any heat generated inside your conservatory. Therefore creating a space which can be used throughout the year.

Ensuring your conservatory has good ventilation is also very important particularly during the summer months. Conservatories can get very warm in the summer but by installing, roof vents, opening windows and French doors you will be able to allow the air to circulate and keep the space cool.

A conservatory makes a great addition to any home. They provide extra living space which has a light and airy feel like no other room in the house, allowing you to enjoy the great outdoors 365 days a year.
