How to Keep Your Conservatory Cool and Comfortable

During the scorching summer months, some older conservatories can quickly turn into hot and stuffy spaces, especially those with poor insulation.

If you are struggling to stay cool, with a few smart choices and additions, you can transform your conservatory into a cool and comfortable oasis.

5 Star’s conservatories are thoughtfully designed to be enjoyed throughout the year with exceptional insulation.

Solid Roofs Or Solar Control Glazing

One effective solution is to consider installing a solid roof. Unlike traditional glass or polycarbonate roofs, solid roofs provide superior insulation and reduce the amount of heat that enters the conservatory.

By keeping the space cooler during hot summer days, solid roofs not only enhance your comfort but also contribute to energy efficiency.

Alternatively, if you prefer the aesthetic appeal of a glass roof, 5 Star offers solar control glazing options. This specialised glazing regulates the temperature inside the conservatory, allowing you to enjoy spectacular aerial views and maximise natural light without sacrificing comfort.

Add bi-folding doors

Another valuable addition to your conservatory is bi-folding doors. These doors are designed to promote natural ventilation and improve airflow throughout the space.

By opening them wide, you can invite fresh air to circulate, effectively cooling down your conservatory.

Moreover, bi-folding doors create a seamless connection between your indoor and outdoor living spaces, providing a versatile and airy environment.

Fans, windows and plants

To further enhance the cooling capabilities of your conservatory, make sure it has proper ventilation.

Ceiling fans or windows that can be opened allow for better air circulation, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Additionally, adding potted plants or greenery can naturally cool down the space. Through transpiration, plants release moisture into the air, creating a refreshing and cooler atmosphere.
