Conservatories

Extensions are typically more expensive than conservatories as they need to be designed and built from scratch. Although extensions tend to be considered more energy efficient, the advances in design of conservatories mean that they can be kept at a desirable temperature all year round with little additional energy cost.

This depends on how you intend to use your new room, your budget and the space you have available. You will need to choose a conservatory or an extension, depending on your preferences and the living area you have available. If you are looking to add a dining room, an orangery may be a better choice.

Unlike the common polycarbonate roofs of old, modern conservatory roofs are made of uPVC and high-grade, state-of-the-art, energy efficient glass.

It’s possible to enjoy your conservatory when it’s cold outside by installing underfloor heating, which is both cost and energy efficient, and by using blinds to prevent heat escaping through the windows.
