How to improve your old conservatory to save on your bills

How to improve your old conservatory to save on your bills

One of the most common reasons people come to us looking to upgrade their existing conservatory is often down to the lack of temperature control. And with the cost of energy and heating quite literally going through the roof, updating your old conservatory could seriously help bring your bills down and increase your property value.

The first thing we need to find out from our customers is how they hope to use their conservatory. Whether you're looking to extend a current room to increase living space, or have a particular new function that you'd like to add to your home such as a dining area, this enables us to lay the foundation for what solution will suit you and your property best.

Add insulation

Conservatory insulation proves to be a great alternative to a complete replacement as the existing conservatory (including the roof) remains intact, meaning building work, disruption and costs are all kept to a minimum. Another bonus of adding insulation to your existing conservatory is that planning consent is not required, and it can usually complete the transformation within a week - all for a fraction of the cost of a new garden room or orangery.

New windows and doors

If you're happy with the existing shape and placement of your conservatory, but want to make it more cost effective and modern looking, replacing the existing doors and windows is a great solution. If you're planning on changing the existing glass, be sure to install the most efficient glazing you can find to improve thermal efficiency, making it a worthwhile investment.

Replace old frames

If not cared for properly, old frames can look dirty and worn, which instantly ages the look of your conservatory and property. Replacing these frames can help to modernise and brighten the look of your conservatory, whilst also transforming the style of your home. Coloured frames are a great way to make a statement and brighten the exterior of your home.

Replace the roof

There are many different re-roofing options for you to choose from which vary in style with a wide range of stylish roof tiles and slate. A Light Weight Zinc Roof Solution is also a popular choice when it comes to transforming your conservatory into a room that is usable and pleasant all year round, or if you've got the grand plans and budget to match, why not replace your existing conservatory roof with an orangery for an ultimate bright and spacious conservatory transformation.

However you're hoping to use your living space, we can work with you to create a bespoke project that is unique to you and your property, which will help transform your lifestyle. Get in touch with us today and turn your vision into reality!
