Is your conservatory too hot or too cold?
Tell us your postcode and which way it faces. We'll show how much sun hits it on the longest and shortest days of the year.
Turn it into a room you use all year
A glass or polycarbonate roof lets in the summer sun and lets out the winter warmth. Replacing it with an insulated warm roof is the usual fix. Our surveyor can check your conservatory and give you a written quote.
Questions
Why does my conservatory get so hot in summer?
In summer the sun is high and up for around 16 to 17 hours in most of England and Wales. Sun on a glass or polycarbonate roof comes straight through, and the heat gets trapped inside.
Why is it so cold in winter?
In winter the sun is low and only up for around 7 to 8 hours. Glass and polycarbonate roofs keep in far less heat than a solid insulated roof, so warmth escapes quickly.
What is a warm roof?
A solid, insulated roof that replaces a glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof, so the room is more usable all year.
How do you work out the sun hours?
We find your postcode's location and work out where the sun is in the sky every 10 minutes on the longest and shortest days. We count the time it is up and shining on the side your conservatory faces. Trees, fences and buildings are not included.
