There’s one question that dominates the minds of most people considering a new conservatory: can you use it all year round?
Can you really use a conservatory all year round?
The short answer to this question is, yes! As long as the quality of your conservatory is good enough.
The extra space, incredible aesthetics and cosy surroundings that a conservatory can add to a home makes them a structure that many homeowners want to use all year around: even in the winter.
Whereas in the days of poor quality single glazing several decades this would have been impossible, nowadays it’s a reality. Conservatories can be used all year round comfortably! This is thanks to the development of technology and better quality manufacturing techniques.
Factors that influence whether a conservatory can be used all year
The type and quality of glazing used in its design
The type of glazing used in your conservatory, as well as its quality, influences how well it can be used throughout the year. Inferior quality glazing, like single glazing, will make the conservatory feel like a greenhouse in the summer and a freezer in the winter: not useful when it comes to using your conservatory all year round.
Here at Win-Dor for instance, all of our conservatories are supplied with high quality double glazing as standard. Double glazing works by slowing the escape of heat from a property, keeping it warmer for longer. This makes it perfect for balancing the temperature of a conservatory during the colder months, keeping it warm and comfortable.
How well it was manufactured and installed
How well your conservatory was installed will also influence whether you’ll be able to comfortably use it all year round. If your conservatory was poorly installed, and now suffers from problems like wide gaps between joints, cracks in the brick base and leaks this will directly affect its performance.
Naturally this will let in the elements and make it unsuitable for use during the winter. If you want to be sure you can use your conservatory all year around, make sure that you get it installed by a specialist, like Win-Dor.
