Conservatory Climate Control
There was a time when conservatories were unbearably hot in the summer and freezing
cold in the winter – the effect of which was that they were sadly underused for
several months of the year.
Now, thanks to a combination of advances in technology and smart materials such
as glass that minimises solar heat gain, your Swish conservatory
can be a comfortable and accessible living space in any weather, season after season,
all year round.
A Swish conservatory's climate control system really comes into play during the
summer months, when an overheated space will not only be uncomfortable for you,
but potentially lethal for any plant life that shares your conservatory. This particularly
applies to south-facing conservatories, which get the sun all day long.
Getting the right ventilation
The key to keeping cool in the summer lies in the conservatory's ventilation system,
which is crucial if you want to maintain a comfortable environment. Established
building regulations now impose minimum ventilation requirements on new conservatories,
and give plenty of advice on ventilating existing rooms adjacent to conservatories.
At Swish, we've got it all covered and our installer can offer a range of ventilation
solutions to suit your home.
Keeping you cool in the summer
Roof vents are a highly versatile solution to ventilating your conservatory, a wide
selection of manual, remote and automatic opening mechanisms are available, as well
as a comprehensive range of glazing options.
Other options for keeping your Swish conservatory climate controlled include simple-to-use
integral blinds – crucial for providing cool shade – and a wide variety of glazing
choices that minimise the transference of heat.
The best options for your conservatory will depend on its size and location. Your
local Swish authorised installer will be able to give you all the advice you need
on keeping your conservatory blissfully cool in the summer and cosy in the winter.
